Best Regards,

Ruben.

breastroker · 01-02-2004, 12:23 PM

Harris, anyone,
How about some photos of this Aero wiper?

vadim · 01-02-2004, 03:47 PM

Just called my dealer (ASC of Arlington) and the parts guy told me that he is unable to see the arm P/N 203-820-32-44 in his system. He wasn't aware of the new wiper design and was genuinely surprised when I explained it to him. Has anyone been able to order these in the US?

Aaron318iS · 01-09-2004, 07:33 AM

does anyone have pictures?

SUNILP · 01-09-2004, 09:00 AM

i ordered them and the dealer already has the parts in. I just have to pick them up.
He was having trouble with the wiper inserts though.

SUNILP · 01-13-2004, 09:58 PM

I got my wiper parts today thanks to the part numbers supplied from Harris. Just one thing though, the US car has the same size wiper blade on both sides. I will post the right part number tomorrow.

SUNILP · 01-13-2004, 09:59 PM

it cost me around 200 bucks in parts. New blades alone are 50 bucks.

SUNILP · 01-14-2004, 12:55 AM

just finished installing them. TOok me 10 minutes on both sides. Wipe better! Will post pics later.

01-14-2004, 01:03 AM

Yeah let us know how it turns out. I might get some!

I Can't Stand my current wipers!

oggle · 01-14-2004, 01:35 AM

Pics please. Thanks.

.elijah. · 01-14-2004, 01:38 AM

I'm realy excited. Sometimes, I feel that the more pratical mods are the best esp. for the money. The price doesn't seem that steep as long as they wipe that good even during a dry day (dust).

by the way, if you wipe away the dust, does that scratch the windshield or is this suppose to make it better?

SUNILP · 01-14-2004, 11:49 AM

wiping dry is not recommended as it will scratch the windshield. As this is not noticed immediatly, it will be noticed years later. I used them today and they wipe really good! Much better in my opnion than the older ones. I will post pics tonight. Install is easy as removal of 3 nuts. Just make sure the alignment is right.

s4iscool · 01-14-2004, 02:41 PM

They wipe better because they are new

I have used aeros before and they are no better than a new set of std blades. They dont last any longer, arent any quieter, etc...they just look sleeker.

SUNILP · 01-14-2004, 02:59 PM

you're probably right

rrf · 01-14-2004, 07:30 PM

Will these effect your warranty?

j/k of course

Your dealer is giving you the wrong info. I am very positive that the driver's side blade IS LONGER than the pass side. (Your old blade on the driver's side is longer too!). Better bring it back to your dealer and ask them to order the right ones for you. My part numbers should be fine.

SUNILP · 01-17-2004, 10:50 AM

I have posted some pictures of them on my site today along with the X-Pel light protectors.

2 issues:

1) The aero wiper is off-color. Doesn't that look strange or is it a bad camera shot?

2) The thing is limp like a lazy penis lol.

c230_2k2 · 02-23-2004, 02:56 PM

i have 15k on my car i already replace my wiper blades once around 10k miles...how long does this wiper blades last? it was raining in so.cal yesterdya and when i turn on the wipers my blades are leaving little rubber streaks on my windshield..and sounds like my blades are gone again...it is starting to skip..

Harris · 02-23-2004, 03:03 PM

Arent wiper blades under warrenty?

Lynn · 02-23-2004, 04:22 PM

In the US, the wiper blades are not covered by the warranty, but are replaced during the "free" service period when a Service B is done.
