Wiper blade refills? 06 Coupe

[sctdev]

My windshield wipers are squeaky and I wanted new blades. I had no idea these were hard to find items Does everyone get wiper refills / replacements from Dodge?

Just bought a pair from VCA Viper Parts America. You get a VCA discount.

Forgot Vipers even had wipers......if the blades are in good shape just wash the blades with cleaner or soap & water & the squeak will go away

OK, guys here's one from a chemist (polymer). There's nothing special about the rubber. I yanked the old ones off the blade and matched up with an auto part cheapo, razored off the back to make it flat and bonded it with superglue to the Viper blade. Not about the money, about the challenge. Superglue generally is not a good material for constant water but it has held up.

a real chemist would use expoxy instead of cyano Epoxy is cool stuff!!

I drive my Viper. If it gets dirty, it gets washed. If it rains, it needs wipers. It's not a daily driver but maybe every 2-3 days instead.

Where's the Garage Queen Police when we need them??? The nerve of you!! Driving your Viper, in rainy weather!!!

Someone explain to David that a Viper is not a Corvette, and that wiper blades should never actually pass over the surface of the glass.

If you were to drive faster the water would stream off the top of the windshield negating the need for wipers.

some need them to pass inspection
