Does anyone know the specs/size for the 2015 LR4 HSE Windshield Wiper (Front 2 + Back 1). Also any recommendation for manufacturer?! Or a link...

Sorry, this falls under dummy question. Thanks!

Always go with silicone blades. They last well over 10 years, never streak, and they get better with age. They leave a film on the windshield which beads up water. The fronts are 22’s and the back is 16. I included a link for the brand and model i use above. I’ve had them on my LR4 since 2011 and they wipe like brand new up till this day. It’ll be like $70 for all three blades with shipping, but it’ll be the last pair of blades you’d ever buy.

So, maybe I am the only one... But the LR4/Disco is the worst clearing windshield I have ever owned.

On my 3rd pair of wipers. Last set came from dealer. The speed of travel and temperature seems to play a big role. Winter time driving is a joke. The jets only shoot fluid on the bottom 3 inches of the windscreen when driving 80 mph, so the top is never cleaned. Also when traveling at highway speeds the wipers don't make good pressure with the screen and streak everywhere and flutter about when traveling across the glass. Least favorite thing about my car.

Open to suggestions/similar reports.

Get those blades I recommended above and i guarantee you will actually be happy when it rains/snows out. For the windshield washer issue, insert a sewing needle into the washer nozzle and adjust it up down right or left and keep testing the washer to see if the fluid squirts on the best spots of the windshield. I used the back of my girlfriends earring to adjust mine lol. My drive side nozzle once shot the liquid completely off the left side of the windshield

Agreed 100% Even the back is terrible. I'm not sure I want Silicone residue permanently on our very expensive Windshields as the above blade purports to do. Thank you for posting a link though still considering. Wondering if anything from Michelin line would work. Apparently, LR outsources the stock OEM blades and they're made especially for LR, but not sure the Company. But as mentioned they're not great. Trying to navigate this page to see what LR4 can take (2015):

Hopefully we can post a solid alternative for all to enjoy.

Can you buy just the rubber strip for the LR4 windshield wiper blade (2015). My actual blades are fine. What have people done here in the past. What is this so difficult?

Thanks for the tip. I always use the RainX wipers (the higher end of the two they sell). They work great but still only last 12-18 months. I'll try these next time.

Yes. You can just slide out the the rubber and put in new ones. I don't think it's that much of a cost savings but inspect the wiper and see if it is remove-able. Should be. Heck, if you are looking to save a couple bucks, I also saw some internet ad for a cheap razor blade that just shaves off the edge of the old blade and is supposed to make it "like new" again. No idea if it works or not.

I am using dealer blades and find them inferior. I bought the PIAA ones the time before last and they created an annoying click at the end of the ****** just over my head on the driver's side.
