Where should I go for new windshield wipers for my car?

I have a 2005 VW Jetta and I need new wiper blades desperately. I got some Michelin High Performance wipers a WalMart, but neither me nor my father can figure out how to get them on as the hole in the middle that attaches the blade to the arm is too small. What should I do? Should I try VIP or another parts place, or call up the dealership (dread) and see what they say?

    Dealership=maximum price

    Go to Pep Boys, they'll help you.

    Also, pick up some "Rain-X". Clean your windshield really well, than apply this stuff, wipe off the excess and the water will sheet off faster than before. Really nice. I got blades for my VW Golf at Pep Boys; they have a little computer screen that helps you piuck the right blades. Also take your old blades in and someone will help you.

  • Don't go to the dealership. Their prices on Wiper Blades are too damn expensive. You ought to come by my work place which is Dekalb Tire and I'll set you up with some free Blades. I'll even mail them to you if you measure the size of your blades and then we will go on from there. Trust me, my place has good blades that will give you a good long lasting GLASS WIPE!!!

    nicely i'm not sure how plenty they could fee yet i'm particular there is an sequence the place you ought to compliment a greater fee-effective pair. yet sure you may desire to purchase them and no they do no longer could desire to establish them. yet be sure that's the wipers that are broke and not the the wiper motor. there is likewise a change interior the wiper motor. in many situations while windshield wipers end working that's because of the fact the change desires to get replaced. Your bf could desire to take his motor vehicle up there and somebody could desire to be waiting to tell him what he desires.

    You don't have to replace whole wipers - just buy $4 wiper inserts (rubber part) at VW dealer and replace inserts only leaving original wipers on.

    Do you have an Auto Zone?

    Is the Walmart a super center? Maybe they will put them on for you?

    Go to Advance auto parts. They will install them for free.Also buy some Rain-X. Use it as directed,and it works like they say. I used it ,and drove in hard rain,and it was still easy to see.

    I like Autozone. Last time I bought some, I asked helplessly if they were hard to put on, and 2 of their workers came outside and did it for me. Nice!
