Wiper Blade Refill, Beigaon 28 inch Silicone Wiper Blade Refill for Replacement Windshield Wipers, (Strip Height: 11mm, Width: 6mm) Fit for Frameless Wiper Insert, DIY Cut to Size(Pack of 2)

[10/28] I tried to use the excess from the 17" blade and replace the rear insert. The 17" is the one I pulled the second channel off, and without that, it did not work. However, using the short piece I cut off for the 26" blade, it seems like it would still be very tricky, and may not work. The CRV rear wiper has the second channel similar to what these inserts have, but the CRV second channel is a little shorter than these silicone ones. If you spent a lot of time on it, you might be able to get it to work, but if the silicone is too jammed in there, it might not flex like you need it to. (I jammed the single channel scrap in with only one metal rod, and it would not flex enough, only the center was touching the glass)I found out a few helpful things. The blades are not 26", 17" and 12", they all measure shorter. I found the model numbers, and the millimeters are listed, and when converted to inches, it confirms what I measured. If you have a 2019 CRV the part numbers for just the inserts are:76622-TDK-J02 - 650mm Front Drivers = 25.6”76632-TZ3-A03 - 425mm - Front Passenger = 16.7”76722-TRN-H01 - 300mm - Rear = 11.8”They are about $5 each online.[10/24/2022] I have a 2019 Honda CRV. it came with nice blade-style windshield wipers in the front. This means replacing the "insert" (rubber/silicone) is perfect since the frame is good. Everyone online says silicone lasts longer than rubber, and most of the amazon listings that say silicone in the title, the reviews say they are rubber. So that's how I arrived at buying these. I measured the old rubber, and they are 6mm wide (wiper inserts are usually 6, 8 and 10 mm).However, I did not measure the height. The OEM inserts have one channel to slide into the frame these silicone ones have 2 channels. You can snip the end, and the one channel will tear off cleanly. But I would not recommend it. This is where the catch is. I snipped the second channel off, and the insert is now exactly the height of the OEM one. BUT the remaining channel is not 6mm. I did not measure it, but it is slightly fatter, just enough to not go in smooth. The problem is that sliding it into the channel is a giant pain in the butt. I ended up getting it in about 4 inches, and then pulling on it so hard the end popped out of the channel, that ended up helping though, I could get a better grip on it and pulled it really hard (it was stretching 3-4" but it's silicone, it appears fine - I can say 5 stars for sturdiness since it didn’t break). I then overpulled the silicone insert (because I needed to get the end back in that I had popped out). I then pulled the insert back to the right length while guiding it into the channel. Then I cut the excess off, and stuffed the last inch into the frame. I did this on my 17" blade. My 26” frame would have been a nightmare.Next, for my 26" blade, I left the silicone insert alone, and it took about 30 seconds and I was done. So now my 26" wiper sits taller than the OEM did, the 17" sits at the same height as the OEM. The next day we got a light mist, I tried these out, there was almost no noise (barely any water, plus freshly cleaned is the perfect recipe for a squeak). Both worked fine, so the extra height probably does not matter. In a harder rain, it might make a difference, or the wear and tear might be different. So, I will update this review if I notice anything different about the two different wipers.

Much cheaper then replacing the whole wiper, I will forever be using these in the future

I refilled Bosch aerotwin blades on my Tesla 2022 m3lr. The bosch blades are oem blades for the tm3 and worked just as bad as the blades that came on the car, always streaking. The job was easy. I was concerned about taking off the end caps but it was not hard. The refills went in easy, took some tapping to replace the end caps but still easy. The performance of the refills was astounding finally no streaking. I just put them on yesterday and have only tested them with the windshield washer and not in the rain and will update as time goes by. Over all so far I am thrilled with the purchase!I bought another pair to replace the rubber on the wipers on my Chevy P/U. They worked great. I found that the original wipers had an opening on the rails and all that was needed was to slide the rubber back to the opening wide spot and slide the rubber out and not disassembling making the change much easier.

All wiper blade refills are a pain to install. This one is no different but no worse either. For $9.99 there was enough to do all three of my wipers, 2 on the front and 1 on the rear. This is much less expensive than replacing the whole wiper assembly and less wasteful as well. Not sure how long it will last, time will tell. Very satisfied at this point.Note: The seller offered a video on how to install the wiper blades. I have replaced wiper blades before so I didn't view the video. Very nice of them to provide a link to the instructions. Top notch customer service.
