My G37 vert's wiper blades are not working properly. They basically don't clean properly. so I am thinking of getting new ones.

Now given my less knowledge about cars, I don't know if wipers are the problem or something else can also be the issue like something that holds wipers? Car is 3 years old, so might be the wipers. I bought it second hand.

I see that dealers charge $70 for wipers while online their cost is something around $15. I was thinking, maybe I should buy online and try replacing on my own. But I have never done it so don't know how easy or hard it is. or should I just take it to dealer and let him figure out the problem.

Also any recommendation on wipers for 2010 virt? What is the standard size of them?

Really? Go to Advanced Auto or Auto zone and get the Bosch Latitude blades. (NOT RAIN-X) Follow the directions or ask one of their customer service guys to do it for you.... Should run you $30-$40.

They give forum members a discount, when you create an account, it'll ask you for forum id.

It takes about 25 seconds to change these.

(coupe blades may be different size than sedan - make sure you choose the right car)

I have the rain sensing wipers, can I still do this myself? I changed my wife's on here Ford piece of crap, but I want to make sure I don't screw up the rain sensing mechanism?

If you can brush your teeth you can change your wiper blades. It is extremely easy, any novice can do it in less than 5 minutes. Go to a parts store or online parts site and grab a nice aftermarket set, like Bosch Icons which look like the OEM setup.

And yes, it's the same for rain sensing. That has no bearing on the style of blade. Just more electronic crap to break one day...

costco has goodyear wiper blades for $5 each. changed mine a few days ago. just look for a tab to push down and pull down. wiper should come right off. good luck!

The sensor is behind the rear view mirror on the windshield not the wiper blade - changing blades is NOT impacted.

I've tried several brands...for me, Bosch icons are the best and as another poster said, they look exactly like the originals. You can do it..

Bosch are the best wipers out there IMO

You do not need to pay a dealer to put them on lol, that's crazy if they charge $70 total

I see several owners recommending Bosch but that has not been my experience. On three occasions I have put Bosh on one side and another brand on the other and Bosch has always worn out and streaked first. This includes the $4.50 Walmart brand. I am not sold but this is just my experience.

Thanks Guys. I'll buy and install myself then. Will learn something at least.

That's how my addiction started!


Now I have 3 garages full of "toys" and tools and a basement full of parts...
