Biggest wipers you've had on

(doing my 15k maintenance)

I am about to replace my stocks of 14 months now w/ some piaa super silicones i was wondering whats the biggest anyone has put on w/o hitting the roof or sides.

I am also about to replace the cabin filter, a friend with an SC430 suggested a BLITZ lifetime filter, does anyone else make one for the G35s?

and i found this nice site here http://www.trustmymechanic.com/maint_schedule.html

thanks
JEAT

why dont you get some of those "ultimate wipers"?

Also if the wipers are too big, they'll strike eachother at the "rest" position, and something will break, those wiper motors are strong..... got my hand in the way once ouch

JDM baby j/k i looked at the Bosch icons and the PIAA's havent seen the Valeo's

i can get the pair of PIAA's for $40.20, you guys suggest valeo/bosch? silicon is supposed to last 2x as long so it'll just come down to costs on which ones i get. stock on my mom's expo was like 17/19. i put 22/24 w/ no problems that's why i was wondering what you guys have put on

uhh when i said cabin filter i was wondering about the filter that filters your AC not your intake. the one that voids your a/c warranty if not replaced, if i clean it but not replace it is warranty still valid?

I had the Bosch on my Benz, and switched to the Valeos. I like them better. The Valeo is also the ones that BMW uses.

I switched to the Valeos on the G35, and once you tweak them a bit, they're great. These bracketless type blades can be tuned by careful bending to maximize the contact properties. Just go slow, and you can get them perfect in about 5 minutes.
