eBay S4 lower door blades
« on: August 23, 2011, 07:47:36 PM »
Thought I'd give some non-OEM blades a try.  Took about 3 weeks to get them from Canada.  They are fiberglass copies, and I had to mount them myself (drilled holes in the fiberglass and used 1/2" bolt and nuts).  They aren't as snug as OEM (only two bolts hold them on), but they are light and appear solid.

They aren't as nice as OEM. They come finished in black primer...which I sanded and Plasti-Dipped to look more original.  They also do not have the inner seal (looks like a windshield wiper on the back), just hollow shells.

That being said, I don't think they look too bad.  It was kind of a pain to mount them, but overall they look good.  Cost $240 shipped, so a savings of about $250.  Took me a couple hours to prep and paint, mounted the next day in about an hour.

They fit great, no gaps, but wish they attached at more points on the door like the originals. I might have to figure something out, I think they may vibrate some when I open and shut the doors. I also think I will color match them.
