I understand parts and other upgrades might be at a premium price but 40 for one wiper!? Come on, what is the deal here? Somebody please tell me I can get wiper blades at a run of the mill parts store. If so what brand?

 

Let me guess...You went to Napa Auto parts? Napa is probably one of the only auto parts stores that carry LR wiper blades. Some buy normal blades and cut to fit or bend the little clips to fit. Last time my truck was at the dealer, they put one on for me there for $20.

However a lot on this site swear by "sil blades" which are silicon blades. Search for it here on the forums. You should find information on how to get them, how long they last and how much they cost.

You would be correct! Thanks for the tip

 

eBay.

 

Buy good blades, Sill Blades, which are silicone last much longer, do a better job and don't get warped from sun and weather. You can find them at Expedition Exchange, where I bought mine nearly 4 years ago.

 

Hey dude, guess what??? I just replaced mine with refills last week. the make is ANCO. they are incredibly well made and they cost $10.00 for the set!!! I got them at my local auto parts store.

 

Advance auto carries replacement blades for $6.96...........Thats right !!!! Or you can get Silicone replacements for around $13.00......Either way it is better than OE

Thanks everybody, went with Anco replacement blades and I will order some on-line but I had to have them, others were falling apart.

 

OEM blades were shot after ~3 months on my Disco 2.....anddealer charging gold-plated prices. I've been using mostly Anco w/ good results but will try silicone next.
