Anyone Know the Front Wiper Blade Size?

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Anyone happen to know off the top of their head the size of the front wiper blades on the EX 35?

I saw one place indicate 20", and on another site I saw 24" on the driver side and 17" on the passenger side.

Anyone know for sure?

Not sure, but the manual states this. Why don't you measure them. Do you have a measuring tape? I can loan you one of my 8 that I have. LOL, JK.

All is good humor.

Honestly, because I'm just sitting around in my underwear and didn't really feel like getting up and going outside. I was just hoping someone knew off the top of their head.

It's 24 inch (driver) and 17 inch (passenger). I just put on a pair of Bosch ICON wipers. Part numbers are 417A and 424A.

Ahh honesty

I have seen many people use a wide variety of OE replacements. I like either the OE refills (cheap and they work very well) the Infiniti licenced replacement ones or the RainX although I don't know how long they last. The refills sound like a cheap option but the spine of the wipers does not require replacement as ofter as the wiper blade.

This is a pretty easy DIY job, if you want to learn how to do this I can show you, it only takes a minute or two if everything is lined up but can go horribly wrong if you are unsure. This is one of those things that is very often overlooked and typically replaced during routine service without a second thought. It is pretty interesting for some people (those wearing pants typically) to see just how these are designed. These inserts are slightly different than the ones on the older style wipers and require slightly more attention.

There is a reason the OE blades are ~$30/ea. If you can replace a few dollar piece of rubber and get the original quality that may be a viable option.

Since you guys mentioned about the front wiper blades, what the heck

happened to the rear wiper? On the manual it says pls. call your service

dept. I remember when my tint installer asked me if I knew how to remove

the rear wiper bec. it blocks the mirror. I called my service dept. and told

me it should be the same as the front.

My installer didn`t bother removing it and went ahead navigating around

it....

So is it really the same as the front blades? I couldn`t verify it right now

since I`m wearing a thong!

Isn't it like 12"?

Take off your thong and go see, put on your sleepers. It is cold out there.

I also used the Bosch ICON, great replacement, they look similiar to factory, pricey, but great blades with a sweet enclosure over the attachment point, looks really clean. Try them you will love them

Well, when I measure my 2008 EX35's factory wiper blades, they measure just under 23" driver's side and just under 18" passenger side. At the auto parts store, they told me I needed 22" and 18". So, why in heck does Bosh recommend 24" and 17"?

I can't find a 23" blade anywhere.
