Why do most people think they have to go to their dealer to get parts for their car??? You dont!:huh:

Dealers rip you off, when you can simply search for the ones you already have on ebay or your local motor shop.

I have an mx 5 and get all my parts from ebay and owners I know
Try Andrew at autolink Im sure he will be able to get his hands on some decent wiper blades for you.

You'll pay over the odds if you go to your dealer.

Common misconception that dealers are more expensive for everything. In some cases they are, in some cases they aren't.

The civic has oddly specific wipers. There's a little notch built in for the end cover, some generic flat blade replacements have these and some don't.

You can change the actual blade itself if you still have originals, just watch if you have rain sensing wipers though as you need a 26" blade which can be hard to find

You'll get some from the dealer for about 20 quid as posted above, or individually for ten-ish. You wont need anyone to fit them for you, cap oops off then push catch in and pull wiper off

Yes thats true, I wont touch dealers with a barge pole. I shop on ebay, www.mx5nutz.com and mx5 parts and autolink.

Parts are much cheaper and you get a better range of choice.
Mazda charged me over £700 to replace a clutch slave cylinder and clutch plus thermostat and radiator cap including labour for three days, (when i knew nothing about the cars working, and I still have the invoice) another time they charge me £80 for day trying to sort an electrical fault with my headlights popping up. They had no wiring diagram. I found out myself later it was a simple relay needed replacing £10.
