LMAO.
C'mon people, get out of the car for a minute, shake the ice off of your wipers and they will be just fine. Same goes for snow in fenderwells, if you don't get that stuff off and get on the highway you get vibration. THose are just realities of driving in very low temperatures + snow.

IMPORTANT
People if you want better wipers. Pepboys is currently running a special, buy one get one free wipers for the Rain-X Latitude blades. They are really a great blade plus it only costs about 20 dollars right now with the deal.

Do the rain x blades fit?
I only ask b/c I bought BOSCH Icon maybe??...yes...in the right size, but the passenger blade was hitting the a-pillar. The mounts on the stock infiniti blades actually make them off center on the hook (this is the stock setup). The bosch blades are centered...which would make sense for every car on earth (stupid G)...so the blade hits the a-pillar. I think they also rub against the roof of the car too.

They are impossible to install wrong and I had the correct sizes. In fact, i held both blades (stock and Bosch?) up to each other and they were identical in size.

I've never had really good results with these wipers though. Unless I am in a good downpour, my wipers always streak.
I put the Bosch blades on my wifes pickup and they were awesome all around.

God I hate my stock wipers. I took my car bac kto the dealer a few months ago and had them replace the driverside one. Its fine going up but as it comes back down it leaves a streak starting where the passenger side wipre stops. Ive had the same problem with both wipers I guess Im gonna have to go get some aftermarket blades.

The type of wipers they use (similar to the rain-x ones) arnt made for snow. They are flimsy. They work fine in the rain, and seems to work better longer from my experience.
Warm up your car, shake off the blades and they work fine in the snow/ice too.

The weather really has not been cooperating so I still have not tested my rain-x wipers in heavy rain or snow, in light rain they seem to streak a lot on the passenger side, I may need to see if I can adjust them better. Also Amazon is recommending 26" and 16" blades for the 2009 G37 Sedan, the 16" passenger side barely fits so make sure you do not get the 17".
