2010 wipers WTH???

No one has the wiper blades for the 2010 Gs. And i went to the dealer today to get some replacement and they have replacements for the whole bracket or just the rubber slips that touches the windshield. SInce they were 16 dollars for driver and passenger side i got them and they are the worst piece of design and quality i've ever seen. Infiniti really half azz on this part of the car. Really disppointed here. It's about to rain later and my driver side is not install cause i can't seem to slip the rubber replacement into the bracket. It's too hard and the metal bars cut thru the rubber so now i'm frack. Need to go to autozone and get a replacement but i don't know what size.

Can someone confirm if the size are the same for 09 G37 or for all previous model g37s?

I just replaced the rubber inserts on my wipers; took me 5 minutes.

Disconnect the wiper arms from the car
Use nose pliers to remove old inserts
Slide new inserts in
Put wiper arms back on car

done.

i bought the "accessory" oem replacements and they are way better than the original oem ones. theyre cheaper too. you buy the blade and holder and replace the whole assembly. i highly recommend them over the original stock ones.

My drivers side wiper (the longer one) already needs replacing and I got my car on May 28. And I haven't had an excessive amount of rain since then either. I'm going in for an oil change tomorrow so I will take your advice on the "accessory" oem replacements.

strange. i got my 2010 G on April 12 and they still work like new. our 2008 M wipers are still good. just went through a week of rain also with no issues. tell them to replace those under warranty.

I have a 2010, My wiper (driver side) has been terrible since day 1. It leave a messy trail when it finish wiping. I just bought a replacement at Kragen's for $8, works perfect now.

Oh and the size is 26" for driver side, passenger is 17" I think.

+1 for the Goodyears from Costco. I have them for my other car and they are excellent and you can't beat the $8 price.

i've noticed the wipers aren't terribly good. I'm probably going to change them too.
