Default 2010 wiper question

I stopped at wally world last night and picked up a new set of wipers for my 2010 accord. I bought the rainex replacements, I have used them fro many years, but they do not work on my 2010 accord. The mount on the blade is too small.

Sure hope I dont have to go to Honda for replacements.

Anyone have this and if so what did you do?

Personally, I've used Trico wipers for my cars. Might check for those if the Rain-x won't work, or take them back and see if another set is different...could be they are packaged wrong???

Most people find the 8th gen Accord OEM wiper blades and refills to be some of the best they had and did not have a need for aftermarket. (This was from comments from other sites, including myself.) Some people have commented that at times a few local dealerships didn't always have them in stock because of demand.

Honda refills are less than $10, and work like new every time. Can't beat that with a big stick. Aftermarket blades are hit and miss, mostly miss on Accords.

I was actually surprised at how inexpensive the Honda Refills are. They only cost $4.50 for one side and $5.95 for the other on my 2008. They last much longer than any aftermarket ones that's for sure.
