Wiper refills OEM

[Voronbrg]

Pick them up at your local Mazda dealer. Off a 2017 Mazda 3. Or use the part numbers perfect fit mitsuba made. More eco-friendly than buying full replacement and less expensive as well.

I'm sorry if I missed something obvious, but why are we interested in Mazda parts?

These fit, mitsuba makes quality wiperblades for many OEMs. Rivian uses Mitsuba wiperblades as well. You can find them from Honda, Mazda or Nissan. Just the Mazda3 has the same size passenger and driver side. So it was less searching.

You want these if,
-you like the factory wiper, they last longer than aftermarket wipers.
-spend less, Rivian replaces the whole unit for 60. I paid 25.
-eco friendly, less plastic waste.

This is one of my pet peeves.
You used to be able to just buy new blades.
Now they want to sell you a whole new wiper assembly.
Good find.

OP, thanks for heads up. I replaced my wipers with Kimblades and have been very impressed with the quality and functionality (it just wipes without streaks after 3 seasons). Kimblades also sell the blades separately. It'll cost you what it would cost to buy the Rivian OEMs.

I did this with a generic brand from amazon, It's working well for $7. I'm assuming these ones might be better quality

I tried the generic brand from amazon, but they rolled it up to package it. By the time it arrived, it was permanently deformed.

Any suggestions for silicone blades?

Any suggestions for silicone blades?

those tend to squeal once the coating wears, I stopped using them in the past. These are cheap enough to replace after years of service.

Thanks OP. Curious. How did you find out about this?

Can you clarify which part number is for driver, passenger? I have an R1T so I’m wondering if your providing part number for an R1S for the rear wiper too. I have no rear wiper so I don’t want to order a part unnecessarily. Thank you.

Ok. I purchased the refills from my Mazda dealership. Now, can someone explain how to remove the original rubbers from the frame? I put the vehicle in wiper service, I remove the frame from the arm. I don't see how the rubber refill comes off the blade. Thank you in advance

When I was at a SC 2 times ago I mentioned my blades were acting up. They replaced both for free. So if are there just ask, they may do the same.
