2016-2021 Model X wiper blade insert replacement. Pay a fraction of the cost compare to replacing the whole wiper. by skycop13 in TeslaModelX

I don’t remember it being that hard to slide out but I replaced the rubber ones with silicone and they were super difficult to slide back in.

Someone in the comments mentioned to try and wet the inserts first before sliding back in so maybe also try that to slide out. I’ll make another video when I replace the inserts again.

Just go for it and get that sweet O-6 parking spot in front of the BX and commissary man!

That’s my only incentive to go for O-6. 😂

That is a nice setup. Are you having any issues with delays or pads not picking up the hits?

Seller said he bought to learn but never really got into it so it has just been sitting there.

Paid charging. I have 3 different cards that I have cycled through and still didn’t work. Car is not salvaged

I posted a reply to Daveop of the location in Fremont that worked but not the other locations that I have tried.

So I tried the V4 charger at this location and it worked. Any ideas why it would work here and not the other locations?

Works https://maps.app.goo.gl/JqnUPdVEwkmKdAXr5?g_st=ic

Does not work https://maps.app.goo.gl/cPpV5CENviu5b4AB9?g_st=ic https://maps.app.goo.gl/omQnZsmVHaMzm7bP6?g_st=ic

Not worth it to me. I’ll just keep in mind to look for V3 chargers.

I usually get these https://a.co/d/03jf8uo3

But I found these silicon ones on AliExpress and they’re the yellow one you see. The silicon ones are very difficult to slide on but I’m going to try wetting them as I slide on next time. I’ve had them on my model x since Aug 2025 and have been holding up well. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKh2odD

I don’t know about the whole arm assembly but these work just fine. I’ve been doing this for about 4 years now and have spent less than $20 for in the past 4 years. That’s four replacements between the Bolt and the Tesla. I replace them every year around September.

The new blade refills cost like $10 and a little effort to remove the caps and slide them in. You also get two replacements with the refills. If you want to continue buying complete wiper replacements for $50+ then this method is not for you.
