Question about wiper blades

Hey guys

Have an 04 G35 Coupe and I want to install the new flex blades that are found on the new g37's, they look so much better and im sure work better too. Those blades also come on the new 2009 Maxima and 2009 g37.

Im sure the mounting is the same as it is an industry standard, im just worried about the length.

any help appreciated.

Thanks

What is your actual question? It is difficult to tell since those all look like statements and I see no question marks.

Go with the Valeo wiper blades... they are absolutely unbelievable. I'm using them right now on both my car and my truck... best wiper blades, by far, bar none... that I have ever used.

You can get them on Tirerack.com, buy-one-get-one-free... so they're half price. I was so happy with them that I bought 2 extra sets for each vehicle.

Honestly I prefer oem. I've tried the ones you find at autoparts stores, and also the PIAA silicone ones. Now I just stick to the oem ones

I never changed mine yet, the rubber that wipes the water is ripping off and they BARELY even wipe. Im just too cheap to buy new ones, maybe by next winter.

Ya sorry my question is will they fit?

I also prefer OEM, and if you guys don't know what I'm talking about, you will be asking the same question on these forums in due time as well when it comes time to replace your own.

I mean I don't see why they wouldnt fit but someone who has been though this can confirm.

thanks

You should try to see what kind of wiper blades those "new" OEM ones are if you're near a dealership... just pop in a lot and look at them and see if they're labeled. The Valeo ones that I recommended are those flexible type.... seriously, check them out or do a few searches on this forum. I've yet to really see anyone complain about these things, and they definitely fit because I have them on my car.

i beleive that they would fit, but id double check at the dealership. But ive had every blade out there includin Valeo, and to be honest the PIAA silocone blades worked the best, and lasted the longest, i would highly recommend them

Simple solution to your question....if you can find a knowledgeable parts manager at your dealership I'm fairly certain he'll have an answer for you. Our wiper blades are such an odd size you may not be able to use the ones you mentioned. Since my wiper blades are rarely used I still have the ones my G came with. Next winter I'll replace them with OEM units, aftermarket blades are a PIA!

I recommend the Bosch ICONs. They are available at Autozone. Better, IMO, than Valeos which I had on my STi before. Now both cars have the ICONs. They install just like any other blade. Very easy. The Valeos are a bit of a pain to uninstall.
