Where can you find replacement wiper blades that have offset hooks like the OEM ones? Is this a dealership only thing?

its much easier to just buy the wiper and plastic assembly. Easier install also.

Its around $10-$20 per side

Took me about 2 minutes per blade to change them out

FWIW, I got tired of OEM blades quality, and took a chance on Trico Flex blades at a local auto store. They have offset design too, and I can recommend them.

If i had the originals i'd get refills. The issue is that they've already been replaced the non-offset blades miss a good bit of windshield.

^ +1. Removing and re-installing the OE wiper refills might be the most straightforward maintenance task I can think of. Checking tire pressure might be a touch simpler, but not much.

I have long been an aftermarket wiper fan. Bosch icons and several others were my go-to wipers. But with the G37 the OE wiper inserts are by far the best value, and equal in durability and performance to any of the premium aftermarket options. Plus, the OE wipers do look the best and are typically the lowest profile of the bunch. Even better than Icons.

I've always enjoyed my Bosch icons, my vote would be between those or sticking with OEM

Bosch icons are on there now. They miss about an inch of windshield by the a-pillar due to not being offset

Been using PIAA silicon wipers since I bought the car (3 years this January). Never once noticed any ill effects from not having the offset. The arms don't rub on the blade frames, and it never even occurred to me that it would swipe an 1" less on the left side.

And because they are PIAA silicons...still using the same pair. Still work great. Still make no noise. I know there are some other nice blades out there, but I have a real hard time believing they can be better than these. And because they last so long, they end up being cheaper than the Walmart crap. MIJ baby.
