So on the free shipping with Trussville I was going to order up a set of wiper blades, is it just me or does this description seem a bit odd.:confused:Quote:
DESCRIPTION:
These are Mazda Wiper Blade Refills. Exact Factory Replacement. Easily Trimmed to Required Length. Durable Molded Rubber.

PART NAME, PART NO., OUR PRICE
Mazda Wiper Blade Refill 2 Pack, 0000-83-WIPR-RF, $6.08
Funny... I was thinking just the other day how the Murano wiper blades were so nice when the car was new, and I don't recall ever having an aftermarket blade that was as effective. I decided that i would pick up a set of OEMs for the Miata next time I had a chance. As I started to read your post, I was right with you on the Trussville deal. But Easily Trimmed to Required Length? :confused:
Yea the phrase, "Exact Factory Replacement. Easily Trimmed to Required Length" just don't seem to go hand in hand....... :confused:
Well, I needed plug wires and oil filters anyway, and I wasn't going to spend $24 on the full wiper blade, so I got the $6 refill. I will let you know what I think in a week or so.
I need to order today since I am taking a "Road Trip" first thing Thursday morning. ;) I was going to order 2 sets but figure I'll just go with one! Trying to think what else I need........Quote:

Nah both of my Miatas still have the wiper blades they got when they were in Hiroshima. ;)Quote:

I thought you guys are pros!? Even for me, it only took 10 minutes do the OEM refill, and 5 if was not being annal! ;)
Cutting part is easy. Line up the old one with the refill and you have it. I cut it 1/2" longer. I like my wiper cover a little more ground.
What can I say.... POS is a :cat: .Quote:
