Just looking for ideas on how you all keep wipers stored in the parts department. Some of our VW wipers come in bags individually(front and rears) and some in boxes. The boxed wipers we have hanging from pegboard but the bagged ones are just laid out on shelves in a bulk bin. Not the most organized so looking for ideas on how to better store them. Thanks!

I am at a Honda dealer, all of our wipers come in bags. We have a 9' tall peg board that covers a large wall. All of my wipers hang side by side on the pegboard with the full wipers on the top shelf, and the wiper inserts on the middle row. I have a different bin location for every peg so I can go right to the wiper that I need.

I use 7' sono tubes from home depot. We cut them to length then stack them in a shelving unit.
It is about 10 tubes high by 15 wide and i bet each tube can hold 30 blades.

I also have a much larger one of these for moldings, cables and hoses.

I like that tube idea!!

Fed-X offers shipping tubes for free. Triangular 6x6x6x38. They work really well.

We used PCV tubes for our Nissan refills awhile back and it worked ok but since Nissan went away from those I haven't given the tubes a second though for our VW wipers. I like the larger cardboard tube idea as that I'm sure is plenty cheaper than PCV is. Will look into the FedEx boxes as well. Thanks for the ideas!

Ironchild.... I find having a hole puncher here in the VW parts department very useful. I hang the bags and non hanging boxes up just like the boxes with the hangers. I also got lucky and got a floor display or murf that neatly packs about 20 differant blades in a small space, and it has wheels. Oreilly was just throwing it away.
