On their website, they list different size wipers for the 2007 & 2008 G35 Sedan. Is there a difference?

I just replaced the wiper blades on my 06 G35 last Saturday as mine were 2 years old. Go to the dealer & purchase just the rubber inserts from parts. Mine were $7.48 eachIf your vehicle is there for something else just give the blade inserts to the service guy & they'll install them for free for you. Once you change the stock wipers the dealer will no longer do that for you.

Just buy the insert.

You'll see this more offten. Some place don't do the reserch and they don't realize the new design is from 07. Another reason not to buy from them. They don't even know the 07 and 08 are same.

I hate waste, but I've had bad experiences with just buying the rubber inserts. If you stick with the same brand, you MAY be ok, but a lot of time the blade ends up with tension in some areas a slack in others (I'm a perfectionist and I couldn't never get satisfactory results).

Found this thread using the search function, and I'm kinda glad I did... went with one of those universal types @ Canadian Tire, spent 22 bucks for it just to have it blow right off the the wiper arm @ 80km/h. Not fun when you're stuck behind a Mack truck bathing your car windshield in road grime.

Was able to find the inserts at my local Nissan for 14$, at least I know it'll stay on my car now... wish I had stumbled on this topic earlier.

BTW, anyone with a 03-05 G35 Sedan having problems putting their wipers on can find assistance here:

Here's a video for people really having troubles with it:

Just figured I'd pass along for the next person to perform this search. Good luck.

The Wipers are a 26" and a 15"The Drivers side can be 24" if you want. But the Passenger side won'tfit a 17"The Inserts are simple to replace, they only go in one way.Part Numbers: 28895-CB08C Dr. and 28895-JK61A Pass.its $15 for both of them. Get a wet paper towel are clean the blade like you would a kitchen knife about once a month and they will continue to clean perfectly for a year or more.

I know on my 08 the factory wiperblade is offset on top of the arm and when i put on the after factory the range was not as far as before.
