Windshield Wipers

Had some genuine Honda blades fitted to my 2015 CRV by the dealer at a service. After about 3 operations they started to disintegrate and leave black smears on the screen. Travel back to dealer would cost more in petrol than a new set of Bosch wipers which have lasted very well for a year of wet weather. After dealer replaced the windscreen washer pump they had fiddled with the nozzles and they give a very poor spray, more of a feeble dribble so I am going to fit new nozzles myself. Very disappointed with our local dealer and have no faith in them.

Fitted new wash nozzles. Less than 10 minute job. Nozzles from ebay, as good quality as originals. £12. Dealer would have taken weeks to book in then charged a fortune.
 
Excellent. Nice to know wash nozzles are available.
What year and model is your CR-V? Are the wash nozzles you bought mounted to the wipers?
On the 2025, the wash nozzles are on the wiper arm. I don't think that was an improvement over previous generations.
My CRV is late 2015 (21500 miles on it). Washer jets clip onto the back edge of the bonnet (hood in US).
