2006 TSX Windshield blades. Which ones?
I am looking to replace my front windshield wiper blades. I went to Napa Auto Parts and they gave me what their computer said would work. However, it turned out that the 16" blade for the passenger side protruded off the window.

Anyone have any recommendations on which blades to get for the driver and passenger side and where to get them?

Thanks!

I had mine replaced last month at the dealer..it only cost me around $20 installed and they work and fit perfectly. I thought they'd be more expensive, but $20 is not bad at all (i know cost is probably like $2, but i'm looking for the right fit)

I went with Bousch the last 2 years and have been happy. You may pay a tad more for them but they work great. I too was given the wrong size for the passenger side the first time around but I just brought them back and they gave me a new, correct size. As far as where to get them I went to a local parts store.

Love my Bosch Icons. 26" driver and 16" passenger worked perfect for me.

OP, you can just buy the blade (rubber) inserts for a couple bucks (each) at a Honda or Acura dealer. I think it came out to $10 + tax.

Installation isn't too hard. I just did it yesterday in a couple minutes... works soooo much better now!

One of the parts guys told me that it's not exactly 16" and 26" - I don't know how true that is since I was too lazy to actually measure it out.

I have always had bad experience with Bosch icons, so expensive and they always cause streaks after a few months...
RAINX ones last me a good 6+ months with 0 streaks, and they are only about 7-8 bucks a piece, can't go wrong

The reason I said installed is that the price estimate i posted was inclusive of acura's ridiculous labour costs (whatever it may be for the simple job) to do it when I had my oil changed
