Wipers on G37x....Annoying me!!!

The wipers. They suck. Especially with trying to clean salt. They pretty much miss the center lower half of my windsheilf. The right side wiper also misses right near the bottom. Any idea??? Anybody else have issues with their wipers? What have you done? It is realllly anoying me cuz i like my windsheild spotless when i drive.

clean your windshield and wiper blades properly, there might be some sort of residue on them.

one of the 1st things i always do with any vehicle is toss the stock wipers, and replace with Bosch Icons. i actually found the stock g37 wipers to be not bad, but the Icons are better.

agreed...take a paper towel spray windex on it and clean the wipers that should do it

Yep, a little maintenance on the wipers should help out. Especially if you're seeing salt frequently. My wiper blades (on multiple cars) last longer than anyone I know because I clean them as often as possible.

So what brands of wipers are you guys using and where did you pickup the Bosch Icons? I'm in need of replacing my drivers side because it's smearing. I guess the OEs lasted pretty good for a little over a year now.

Bosch Icons from Autozone. It was pouring and my car only had 5k on it, but I could BARELY see. Didn't have time to get to the dealer so I ran to Autozone and replaced my wiper blades.

The wipers are pretty standard. I would not say the worst, but I am not sure what to expect from wiper blade technology. Even the expensive stuff you get from Advance Auto or other places like that seem average. Maintenance does seem to help. I have a cleaner that I got from DI that seems to make a big difference.

What size Icon's are people using? Just picked up the car Saturday and this morning was the first time I drove it in rain and the wipers weren't great. I've had Icon's on all my previous vehicles and loved them. I was on the advance website and it didn't have the Icon's listed for the 2010 G37?

Picked up a set of Rain X Latitudes at Walmart and they wipe very nice, better than the old worn out OEM wipers.
