Mopar Performance Windshield Wipers w/ Built-In Washer Jets Released For Jeep Gladiator

[Burghardphotography]

We do not know if these parts will ever become serviceable but here are the part numbers and limited info we have

68639389AA Blade
68639390AA Refill
68639388AA Tube

We can check them every few weeks

Thanks,
- Benny

Sorry, could you clarify what you mean by “will ever?” They may never offer them?

So the only replacements I have are the ones it came with? We’re unable to get any more? The wipers are just done after that?

Seriously? How dumb is that. I mean they haven’t been out long but that’s no excuse. I wanted to get a bunch. What’s the point of installing this if it’s unsupported. Thanks for the info Benny!

Was super excited to get a set of these wipers until reading about the issues in this thread. Gonna pass. Thankfully I have a never-ending list of other things to buy that I don't really need for this goddamned vehicle. ?

Can relate. Mine just showed up so I figure for $100 I’m gonna try them. Watch I love them and have no issues and can’t get the F’ing replacement blades

Yes that is correct should mopar not make replacements available.

Once all 4 blades wear out you would need to buy a new kit. Yes if you break down the costs each blade costs more than a typical blade but your paying for the feature. This works out to about 30.00 per blade.

Yea same concept I’ve arrived at also. Thanks for the info again

Has anyone tried generic refills with these? Seems weird that they would make these proprietary and not offer replacements - maybe the 4.99 ones from AutoZone work?

I didn't know this thread was still alive and well. But I've had my hoses get cut so many times I finally did the new hole/grommet thing. Hopefully this fixes it's wagon. I've had to reconnect the hoses probably 5 times since receiving the kit. Don't know it of course until you're blowing washer fluid into the wind. Pretty poor design they really should include the 2 grommets and instruct people to drill a 27/64 hole in the cowl to properly route them.

During a -15F day with salt spray on my windshield, the male portion of the quick disconnect on the passenger side broke in half (between the barb in the supply tube and the quick disconnect portion)

While it was a wonderful new "performance" feature to be able to clean the driver's side window and simultaneously spray anything to my right ... I did find a replacement that worked (ignore the fact that the replacement looks smaller ... perspective messing things up again) ... It has been working for over a week now

Benny @AllMoparParts.com is there an official replacement for this?

A VW/Audi part 1J0955875R

I got it here:

Exact same part did the same thing for me today at -4 degrees. combined with no factory replacement blades or parts I'm writing the whole thing off and going back to Bosch Icons.

Yea I think I’m gonna stick with my trico ultras. Bought the set, but it’s gonna be shelved.

The hose on mine failed yesterday as well.

Have a link to the grommets you used?

I bought them as a grommet kit on Amazon. And I used a 27/64 drill bit for the holes. Idk what the best plan for where the holes to go is, but inline seemed best.

Well after a nice long trip up the coast of the Olympic peninsula the torrential rains of the PNW finally caused that wiper arm to saw through my tubing. Looks like I’ll be doing the proper hose routing now. How did you guys warranty yours out, since getting a new one is the only way to get wiper refills now anyways…
