Interesting thread. I was just trying to make it clear to the guy at Advance Auto that I didn't want aftermarket wiper blades because of their mounting. He kept trying to sell me wiper blades...I had decided to stay OEM before ever finding this thread.

New Infiniti G37xs owner here. Haven't contributed much to the forum but wanted to share some info. Picked up a 2012 a few weeks ago and the wipers were shot. Decided to order some blade inserts online to save some $$$. they arrived a week later. I ordered 2 sets of the right and left. With shipping I paid about 32.

Ordered up my stuff at infinitipartsonline

Parts: Right Side - 28895JK61D & Left Side - 28895CB08C

I tried the RainX blades on my coupe and was far from happy with them. I couldn't go over 60 in the rain or they would leave a foot long swath unwiped on the driver side. I just went back to OEM, and they were mercifully inexpensive with my wifes employee discount at the Nissan dealer. I wish I would have known about the refills before I pitched my original set of OEM blades.

Went with Bosch on my other car. Work well but look like ca-ca.

Went OEM on my 2013 G37x and they look great. I replaced the whole blade as after time they don't have any more spring in their step. I'll just do inserts the next couple of times, then do the whole blade assembly again. About a two year rotation on that.

Only Bosch Icons for me. I have used them for years and they have never let me down. Performance wins over aesthetics for me.
