Thumbs up Upgrade Rear (and front) Wiper Blades For LR Range Rover

There is a upgraded rear wiper for Range Rovers. Actually, it’s excellent all the way around - rear and front. If you want to upgrade to the newer-style, one-piece, frameless (whatever you want to call them) wiper blades, I recommend taking a look at the "Trico NeoForm Beam Blades". Product Info & Picture: https://www.wipers123.com/NeoForm.php They come in all the required sizes for the Range Rovers 1995-2010+

If you haven't tried the new-style wipers, I highly recommend them - they can make an older vehicle a little more enjoyable to drive. Getting rid of the fragile frames makes all the difference in durability and performance. For the rear, they're not so curved and stiff that they lose contact with the glass like some others - they are actually quite flexible. They also look great and the price has come down on them. Wipe clean and super quiet. Major improvement in the winter. You can get them online. Hope this helps others!!

I think when it's finally time to replace the one's on mine, I'm going with Silblades http://www.silblade.com/.

Please let me know where you get them and if you find the whole blade or just the refill insert. Interested to know...

Just measure the wipers and go to an auto parts store and buy them there. They will give you new ones at a fraction of the price AB or the dealership can give you, and the quality is usually better.

Standard auto parts stores sell the headlamp wipers? Or are you talking about just the wipers?

Jeff,
Just a shot in the dark but I think he means just reg. wipers are better at Napa or any other auto parts store.
Our headlight wipers are not in stock in a retail store. We need a "special" type place to order them. If the shipping is not outrageous I will place my order. I also was looking into a cargo liner for the back. Do you have one if so is a LR one or did you find it elsewhere. I want one but again not sure if the dealer is a better quality material or any will do.

If we're just talking regular wipers, I'll never go back to stores. It takes all of 5 minutes using wipers123 and I you're done. There was no human error because their system matches only the correct wipers to the vehicle and then gives 3 or 4 quality/price choices. Plus, no wasted trip if they are out of stock.

I have no info on cargo liners. I would guess the ones at the dealer are probably the same, just more expensive...but obviously don't know.
