Hey Guys: try cleaning the wiper blades with denatured alcohol. It can sometimes work a little magic. If the blades have truly deteriorated, the alcohol won't fix that, BUT if they are only oxidized / dirty, wipe it down with a rag a few times and you will see a difference. Also, I find that using car washes with wax affects the performance of the wiper blades on the windshields. More than I can remember, but heck, I'm Old now LOL.....

Hey guys, how in the heck do I know which size J-hook I have. I have a 2010 G37 Coupe and have just bought some Rain-X Latitude Wipers from Walmart just like the original poster. It talks about small j-hooks (9x3) and large j-hooks (9x4). I can use either adapter and the blades will lock so I don't know whether use the small j-hook adapter or the universal j-hook adapter.

I've always been a faithful fan of Trico exact fit blades. They're expensive, but I had them on my Mercedes for nearly two years, and they still worked like day 1 when I traded it. Now there's a set on my G

I recently replaced my OE wipers with Bosch Icons and there great, i have no complaints! The Icons has a OE look to them and is kinda curve so it hugs onto the glass better. If your anticipating some heavy rain, just get some Rain-X spray and and you should be fine. Before a big rainstorm i usually use the spray and at 35mph+ the rain just glides right off the glass w/o even having the use the wiper blades...lol

Some years ago I started using Valeo blades purchased through TireRack. They seem to last forever, and work very well. TireRack was always selling both sides in a 2-for-1 promotion, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. I just went through the checkout, and Yikes! $50 shipped is super pricey!
Well, that sucks.

I have had rain x latitude wipers on my g37 for 2 years and they are still working just fine.
I bought a pair of Bosch ikons a year ago and they are still sitting in my garage, unused, as the rain x wipers are still good. I live in Florida. I have Bosch ikons on my mustang in my Colorado summer home and they work well, but I don't use the car in the winter. It's a convertible. One consideration is price, as the Bosch wipers are more expensive. I got the rain x wipers in Target, and the Bosch on line. I do hear that Walmart now carries Bosch ikons.
