I just bought a 2002 Carrera 2 Coupe with 26K after looking six months. At Last!! I have a question. Is ther a good on-line resource to purchase OEM wiper inserts?

 

These will look really good on your car and you won't have to mess with the inserts.

Yeah, I wouldn't even bother with using inserts. Just get a whole new arm, it'll be easier to swap. Bosch makes a good one as well.

 

$30 for two new blades from sunset (oregon) dealer.

 

Yeah, the arms are attatched to the wiper linkage. Blades come with the refils built in. So far, I like the Rain-X brand best - rubber seems softer and lasts longer than the Bosch.

 

You won't believe this but I didn't go for Bosch/OEM last time I replaced my wiper blades. Based on the recommendation of the clerk at Advanced Auto Parts (auto parts chain store) I went Trico Teflon wiper blades. They're great in rain and snow and the Teflon coating works well that the blades don't stick/skip even when you're wiping a dry windshield. They're really cheap too.

 

Getting hard to find just the inserts at stores. I have used Bosch inserts in the past but can longer find them in stores.

I found inserts at AutoZone, but did not buy them, yet.

 

I buy my oem stuff from Suncoast. Great Service (no affiliation).
