So I need new ones...any recommendations from the group?

Post by **SVTCOBRA** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:36 am

CR has them listed in this order
Valeo 600 Series - recommended
RainX Latitude - recommended
Anco 31 Series - best buy
Michelin RainForce - best buy
Anco Contour
Valeo 900 Series
PIAA Super Silicone
Bosch Icon
RainX WeatherBeater

I think we have the Bosch Icons (no compaints), but may look at a cheaper one next time.
Looks like RainX Latitude is rated the best after 6 months.

Joe, my best results have been with new OEM inserts versus an aftermarket replacement. I put A/M on my 2007 and they started dancin at anything over 70 mph. I took the original arms to the parts dept and they even installed the new inserts for free. The OEM arm design keeps the wiper on the glass better than the Bosch AM's I threw away.

Thanks. I'll be sure and keep the arms then...

+1

I also used the inserts from the Infiniti parts. They work well and are cheap

+2. In my experience, aftermarket blades never work as well as OEM. The blades that our cars come with don't tend to lose their ability to hug the windshield as they age, so simply replacing the inserts is the cheapest, easiest, and best way to a cleanly wiped windshield.

How much are OEM replacement blades??

Post by **Tim30250** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 12:03 pm

A pair of complete blades probably retails for about $50. The replacement inserts are about $20 for the pair from the dealer, possibly cheaper from an online discount retailer.

I never really liked the OEM blades. They pulled water from the left that was annoying. We'll see how the aftermarket blades are.
