Yes, it is OEM. You can buy a new wiper blade with it. I bought them a little while back.

Cool!! Thank you.

I dont drive my car in the rain if I can help it, because I dont want to wash it . My wipers may be the same ones that were on the car when I got it in 2002.

I got stuck in the rain returning from an autocross a couple of years ago, and the old wipers worked perfectly

my wiper blades were shot so I had to replace them, unfortunitly I could not find a oem replacement blade and had to switch it out.

Does anyone know the part number for a blade refill for the oem? or how much is the whole assembly with a blade? id likd to put the oem back on if possible

I know what you mean. I wont drive my FD in the rain if I can help it. I have R888 tires and I am afraid of how they would perform in the rain. Wiper blades last me forever!

I'm down to (2) so frankly I'd rather keep them. The link above will get you some inexpensively.

yes a 22" wiper is a 22" wiper...

the originals are made by NWB, and you can get these aftermarket

If you can get the original winged wiper blade, you can refill it with standard slide-in wiper refills. PIAA Japan makes, hands down, the BEST wiper blades. They are available from Amazon. I've had a set of their blades on my daily driver for over 2 years now, they are still going just as strong.

PIAA wiper blades are made out of silicon instead of natural rubber/synthetic rubber, thats why they last longer. Down side, they are most expensive.
