    wiperblade problems.

    My problem is that ever time i go to a autoparts store n buy wiperblades they are always over sized. I do look in the book they have for sizes n all. It says 24 driverside n 19 passngerside but the driverside wiper blade scrapes my roof. the passngerside one is fine. so whats the size for the driverside?

    do you get the EXACT one that manuals say? I know there are different 24 sizes, they are usually 24-1 or something like that...

        strange, I have never had that happen... The only thing I can think of, is that you have the wrong wiper arms on your car...

          yeah you must have diff. arms on your car. Why would the manufacturer of wiper blades screw up? its something they check and double check before they put it in the catalog.

          What's the current size on there now?

              Take measurements of both arms, from the tip of the base to the tip of the metal hook... see if its the same as another cb7 or not...

                Have you ever taken the wiper arms off, I did that to my civic to paint them flat black, (because the paint had come off), and it took me about 6 months to get them on right so that they didn't wipe my roof to.

                      Mine did the same thing for a little while, i painted mine also. Just take and push them down as far as they can w/o breaking anything, or you can just take them off and put them back on to here it moves them down.

                        Just keep taking them on and off till you get them right.
