Default windscreen wipers?

I did a search on windscreen wipers and I found that most people recommend Silblade (or is is sill balde??). Where is the cheapest place to buy them? And since I dont have a manual to check... is their some sort of size I need to get them in??

Thanks guys.

I dont think that most people recommend them it is just that they are the only wiper blade that you can buy for a DII.
Now if you were to put DI wiper arms on your truck then you could use any wiper blade that you want.
Check with your dealer for the Sill Blades, there price will be pretty close to AB and you wont have to pay for shipping.

Looks like I can get them for $18 a peiceon expedition exhange.
Seems resonable, i think I'll go ahead and get them. There isnt a singe bad review on them.

Don't get the SiBlade Cam! I just bought a pair a few wks ago off Expedition Exchange, and while they do fit the right wiper doesn't seem to make contact with the windshield properly near the centre. Apparently several people have complained about the same issue with their SilBlade. Your best bet is just to get them from Land Rover. I know they're more expensive from the dealer but at least you know they'll work properly. On a side note, I did email John from Expedition Exchange and he gave me a few tips on getting the SilBlade to work which I haven't tried yet. If you have an email address pm me it and I'll forward the email over to you.

Best,
Ryan

Dont buy the Silblades. I bought them from Atlantic British and they dont make good contact with the windshield. I returned them. Sales rep from AB says they pulled them from catalog since they are getting so many complaints. I would go to the dealer.

Give me a bit and I'll see if I can find the box and get the part number off of it so that you can by your replacement blades from the local auto part store.
