So I needed to buy some new wiper blades. So I hit up just about every auto parts store in the Reno/Sparks/Carson City/Minden/Gardnerville area and no one has any wiper blades in stock for my disco, they are special order only. So finally at the last auto parts store I finally gave up and said to special order them. $38.00 each..... $70+ for 2 pieces of rubber that wipes water off glass... Are these like magical wiper blades? give me time travel abilities? help me pick up women? I bought 2 wiper blades for my pos dodge neon and it was $17 for a pair of Bosch blades. I am sad because my modding budget is shrinking just the keep The Hulk on the road.(nickname wasn't my idea but unfortunatly it stuck in my neck of the woods) At least I dont own a ferrari where I read somewhere wiper blades and another minor service was $1300..... :D

They should be less than $20 bucks. Call your dealer or call Tony at 650-365-4145 and he can ship you some.

I will probably call Tony as I need to talk to him about brakes. I did find a pair on ebay for $35 which I went ahead and bought, but it wouldnt hurt to have an extra pair handy considering the dealer and my local auto parts store dont carry them in store

Tony will take care of you, BTW I meant less than $20 each. A set might be around $30-40 but not $70!

I bought Bosh blade refills for $18.00 (both) at my local parts place. Next time let me know, I can ship them to you.
