Anyone know when I can find the OEM wiper blades cheaper than the dealer?

 

Infiniti Parts USA

 

Why OEM? Just get some Anco Contour or Valeo Gen2 Premiums.

 

Costco has a fantastic price on some really nice high quality blades. They're about half the price of what I saw everywhere else.

 

The NAPA one on the passenger side was too long, just an FYI

 

check the local vendors here!

 

I really like the oem frameless and would like a good source for them as well. They seem to last longer than the premium aftermarket blades I have used previously.

 

Found a thread on here with a pic of the blades Costco sell. I believe they are still $7.99 ea. too.

I have the Costco brand on currently. They are just OK. Starting to streak and leave wet spots after about 4-6 months, whereas my OEM could go for about double that. They were super cheap so I got my money's worth I guess. The cool thing that I didn't realize until after the switch is that the OEM blades arm connection is offset so the blade actually is above the centerline of the arm when viewed in the home position. the Costco, and most other brands, are centered on the arm. This makes the arm swing a little lower at the home position so the passenger side wiper climbs the window frame seal ever so slightly. It makes a clicking noise and wears the very tip of the blade out. The noise is what bothers me more. i plan on going back to OEMs shortly.

 

^^ huh, that's surprising. I have had none of the issues you're experiencing

 

it just barely touches so I guess normal variation in the blade and the car would be enough to cause the difference. Maybe if i purchased another set it wouldn't happen. i am still going to go back to OEM, just looks cooler to me.
