Was it you who had a problem with wipers? I think you used a bunch of different brands and even though it maybe the windshield thats the issue? Anyways Which ones did you use?

I have been think about putting one OEM wipers just because they say INFINITI on them! :)

Not just the blades. Wiper fluid is key too!

On the I30 I decided to try some Bosch blades that were on sale at AdvanceAuto.. Those were the best wipers I've used to date. The difference between the Bosch on the I30 and the RainX Lattitude on the Q is quite noticeable.

I saw this sale,and thought it was cheap enough to try a different brand.Must order online{can then pick up at your local Sears} to get the sale price.http://www.sears.com/automotive-wiper-b ... D=11042411

Yes,Paul....problem turned out to be a worn "wiper pivot" causing poor alignment between blade and glass.

Reminds me that I need to replace my blades. Mine are overdue.

Anyone care to share your favorite wiper blades? I'm thinking of trying the top of the line rain-x Latitudes.

Seems like the OEM blade inserts get no love... I get a couple of years out of streak and chatter free performance out of them.
