Mopar Performance Wipers--blade replacement?

[Dasher320]

lol exactly. At this point its going to take a parts counter guy or service writer to figure out what he needs. Dont we have a rep on the forum?

I actually went to the parts counter at the dealer first. He had never heard of these wipers until I told him about them. The only thing he could bring up on his computer was the same instructions with no part numbers that I already had. Stumped him, that's why I came to the internet.

I was parts manager at 2 dealers and there is a way for them to find it. Unfortunately some counter guys just don't want to do the leg work. Im on hold with my chrysler parts guy right now Ill ask him after if he knows anything about it.

This does not address the Mopar performance wiper blade question, but the best wiper blades I have used is the PIAA wiper refills.

PIAA 17" silcone Si-Tech # 97043

I went with the 17' blades.

Ok so not great news @Dasher320 as of right now according to Stateline CJDR (who I buy a ton of parts from and one of the few dealers in the area I trust) there is not a refill available for purchase right now from Mopar. It should be available soon "TM" but we all know what that means coming from Chrysler.

I have a feeling they included the extra set of refills in the kit to hopefully last long enough to get a supply chain going to sell them as well but just hasent happened yet.

Thanks for checking. That was what I was guessing.

Another reason on top of the pile of other reasons I’m removed this trash from my Jeep.

It’s a badly designed product that if left alone will easily break and scratch the cow panel.

I would not be surprised if Jeep just abandons this thing.

I actually feel the same way. The hose on mine broke so I just went back to the normal hose and delivery from the dispensers on the hood. But I don't have the old arms anymore so I just want to be able to replace the rubber blades when they get old. Maybe I'll just get the whole kit again--at $125 it really isn't much more than buying 4 good wiper blades at Autozone, plus I'll get a new hose and do something to protect it from cutting this time.

I tried really hard to fix “Jeep” engineering mistakes on this thing, you can see my journey here

https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ers-w-built-in-washer-jets.98887/post-2165427

I went as far as designing and 3D printing replacement parts, replace the hoses and installed them in a better way.

In the end I gave up. It’s unreliable, simple as that. A crucial piece of a vehicle can’t be like that, so I ended up removing everything and went back to stock.

I remember seeing that thread and thinking it was a bunch of whining. Now my hose has been cut and I can't get replacement blades. Have to agree, this system is a total fail.

I read about these blades on Mopar Insiders when they first announced and bought a set. The big cheese at FCA who took the credit at the time was Marc Bosanac...head of service, parts and customer care.

Maybe it's time we reach out to him and ask him to support these performance wiper blades and make refills available. Since I have skin in the game, I did a deep search for his email and found one that might be still valid.
