Where to get good wiper blades?
 
Most of you guys know the JK uses 15" wipers. The factory ones suck. Canadian Tire has 15"s only in the cheap basic version , ie: not winter type , teflon, reflex, etc.
They are even worse leaving large streaks and crusting up with snow easily.

Does anyone know any better options in the Edmonton area , esp. aftermarket types?
Thx for any help fellas
Pete

i've heard we can use 16" ones as well, so that should increase your chances of finding a good one.

I'll take some measurements and check if that'll work. Thanks !

Why waste money on fancy wiper blades. Go to your local dollar store and pick up 2 wipers for $2. buy and extra set at that price everyone can afford. Keep one set inside your jeep and the other of course onto the window also buy some RainX ($2.50 ctc this week) voila problem solved. I have 2 - 16" blades on my tj work great (calls for 14")

I'm glad someone started this lol . I live in Edmonton and have the same problem with canadian tire wipers. Let me know if the 16 " works. Mine just makes streaks and there only a few weeks old

Hey guys , today I was at Princess Auto ( looking for an axle strap) and stumbled upon wiper blades. They had all sizes including 15". They are all season one piece reflex-type blades. They were $10 per blade. I grabbed 4 so I have an extra set. Thought I'd let you fellas know.

Great thread, read it just in time as I too was needing blades....15" can't be found. Thanks for the tip Mr. White, my local dollar store had some 16" left. Yes, the 16" will work on a 08 JK, installed them tonight. Really, they are only 1/2' either side of centre.
