hmmm? You shouldn't need to change them already. Try wiping them down cleanly with some soap and hot water. If you still have problems, go for bosch icon's

After you buy new blades, treat your windshield with Rain-X --> if you haven't already. Been 14+ months on my original blades with the combo.

if you've only had the car for two months go back to the dealership and say, "wtf is up with that!" and they'll more than likely replace your wiper blades if you fully express how disapointed you are.if they won't, get the bosch - they should last a bit longer, possibly a couple years if you run them everyday.

The factory blades are garbage! Buy some Bosch Icons!

Wipe them down as suggested if your experiencing "chattering". I'd be surprised if you were seeing wear or cracking on these already even though they aren't the best blades.

What makes you think you need new wipers? What problems are you having?

i have had my car about 10 months now and want to replace my blades... i went to walmart and they didnt have bosch... they had michellin and rain-x blade replacements and then some cheap no name crap.

the rain-x were the most expensive.. at about $17-$19 per blade depending on size.

I bought Rain-x Latitude wiper blades.. drivers side 28" and pass side 17"

anyone have these or have feedback?

ok ive searched some more and came across a murano wiper blade thread that mentioned the rain x blades but not too much as in a review..

now ive seen some posts stating bosch icons are the best... but does anyone know the big differences in the rain x latitudes and the icons?

I've had the stock ones since I bought the car and I love them. Never had a problem with them (knock on wood). I did just replaced the blades tho. I've had the Bosch Icons and they are a very good blades

yeah i went to autozone tonight after your feedback guys...

i got the bosch icons and spent approx $45 for the set of driver & pass but they gave me a mail in rebate to get the lesser price of the two back.

the buy 1 get 1 free is only until 11-1-2008

i also got the squeeze bottle of rain x.. which was abour $3.50... to try out and see how it stands up with the icon blades.

does anyone know what brand the stock AC wiper blades are? or are they just nissan oem parts? i was only wondering because i know how some major companies make parts for other companies to brand with another name.... like i think how toyota/trd used eibach springs in their trd line of performance parts...

the bosch icons definitely have more of a stock look as opposed to the rain x latitude blades...

at least ill be gettin some money back for the bosch. even the autozone guy asked me if i needed help puttin the new blades on... i said "heck no, i dont want you touchin my car with your dirty hands lol (because i just washed her today lol lol )"
