Has any body used these. I was shocked when Holden wanted $85.00 to replace a little piece of rubber. The after market one ar'nt cheap at $30.00 but better than genuine price. Any info would be appreciated. Regards Phil.

We don't have a Colerado but have used the after market windscreen wipers on our Territory and have not had a problem with them.

I have had great success with Wipertek on the internet at about 50 shekels. In fact the best i have ever used. Excellent service and top product.

I did 85K in My DMax until the wiper blades dried out and needed replacing. Went to Super Cheap and paid $23 for them and absolutely useless - screeched when using them and left parts of the screen "in-wiped".
Went to Repco theirs were $49 and no return/credit if no good.
Went to my local ARB dealer and paid $17, which they fitted for free - no noise and does a perfect job.
Apparently the Dealer stocked blades are after market ones anyone and not the same as those fitted when your vehicle is new.
Next time round I will fit a new set of holders and re-fills as apparently the holders do wear out as well

My mechanic does that trick to
I tell him now don't even bother with new blades
I used to give them away when my customers had a full detail done
they nearly cost nothing when you buy them in bulk less than $3,00 a pair
Cheers John

Hi Phil,
I noticed a week back when in Repco they had Siclone replacement refills. I didn't check the price. May pay to have a look see to compare prices and UV rating.

I replace my entire blade/s on front windscreen every year (rear every second year) whilst they are still effective and doing what they are supposed to do. Dust tends to damage to contact area of the blade tips - Note always use the SCA aftermarket ones on my Patrol they are just as good as the Nissan ones www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/SCA-Wiper-Blade-Complete-560mm-22-Single/213363. Many moons ago I worked at Prime in Sydney for a couple of months where they made for all OEM's, Sprague (for locomotives and aircraft) as well as Generics - same rubber blade.

Repco/Supercheap.
Silicon blades $40 each. For both D'Max and Di's Honda.
WELL worth the price for a nice clear screen.
Those cheapies don't last long and do a good job of scraping a radius into the glass too.
No thank's.
You pay $20\30\40\80k for your car.
And begrudge a couple dollars that'll keep your screen clear????
Beats me.

Hey Macka, Our CRV Honda(2014) leaves a dribble off the drivers blade down the left side of screen, always has since new. Daughters Odessey 2012 also does. Both with Honda split rubbers, ie two piece. Are yours single rubber or two sections and which model please/
cheers and thanks Craig. ( new pic of yours is much better)

AWWWW. You didn't like my Dunny Seat table then (Chuckle)
It was a statement.
These are our two Cornish Rex as Kittens in Linen press.
13 yrs in Sep't this yr.
DI's a 2008 Civic. Two LARGE blades.
Park in centre of screen. Sweep out to top of screen, Back again.
Can't leave any drains as they park at bottom centre of screen
under bonnet rear cover.
Yes. they were multi blades. and did a good job.
BUT. These Silicon Single solid. blades from Local Supercheap
at $40 each blade. complete. (NOT the arm)
Do a great job too.
I normally change every yr.
But I think I'll be going a coupla yrs with these.
Try some cheap singles first. See if they cure it.
B4 going the good ones.
As I said. I can't see the point of not looking after a $500+ windscreen
for the sake of $80\100 bucks.
