Wipers

Need my 3 wipers replaced on LR4...dealer quoted $140.
Where is everyone else getting blades from??

Auto Zone, I am using the Rain-X Latitude 22 inch on the front and 16 inch on the back. About 21.00 per blade

Bosch Icons 422A/422B - $16.99 each on Amazon - been using these on my cars for a few years with great results - in fact I replaced the OEM wipers right after delivery and found them to be a big improvement over the OEMs (that the dealer is apparently charging a small fortune for). Not sure about the rear wiper though - I typically leave those on for a few years at a time though since they don't wear out as quickly.

Out of curiosity, is the dealer including labor in that insane estimate? If so, they should charge for no more than 5 minutes...

I use the same ones - very good! Though I am starting to get a bit of streaking... Maybe I need to change them again?

I would never allow the dealer to change my wiper blades - especially with the crappy stock ones!

Bosh icons work great. Had them on my old LR3 with no complaints. Haven't had to replace the LR4's or the LR2's yet. But I don't remember paying $17 a blade. I got them locally for like $22 or so and like $18 for the rear. I am going to look into that. I use cheap rain x during winter because my wife is convinced that the front wipers work as ice scrapers! Got to love her. $140 for the set? **** I love this dealerships and the 1/4 hour of labor. The OEM set here is like $85 or so no installed and after getting 5 vehicles from this guys I should ask the sales manager to install them himself!.

Bosch icons are great. Rainx latitudes are good also

I love this board. I just had the driver's-side wiper start streaking and was about to post a "what wiper blade?" question when this thread popped up. Ordered the Bosch blades online. Thank you one and all.

How much and which website if I may ask?

I got mine from Auto Zone bc I couldn't stand the streaking anymore and did not want wait for an online order. I have Bosch on my LR4 and Rain X on my other vehicle. The bosch were $22 each and the Rain X were $15 each on sale. I think the Bosch perform better and last longer.
