Wiper blades?

[Merc Dr.]

Where the heck do I find a passenger side wiper blade for my G8 without going to a dealer? I've tried 3 diff auto parts stores.

At the dealer...lol. Some people buy one an inch bigger and deal with it. I just got mine at the dealer for $11.

ive tried 4 different brands of blades-3 out of 4 of them will fit a 16 instead of a 15 without touching eachother...pep boys are the cheapest store brand that worked great!

I bought the Valeo's from Amazon last year and they were great for a couple of months, but then they started to skip across the windshield like the stock blades did. I'm pretty sure it's not the blades fault, just the driver's side wiper arm is at a weird angle.

Thanx for the replies. I guess I'll have to order one. I just couldn't find the the short one with that goofy clip system they use.

exactly.I solved this problem back in the spring 08' and had a thread.take the "Z" bar part of the wiper arm and turn it clockwise to get a more even to the glass angle(use a cloth for anti scratch purposes and an adjustible wrench on the flat steel arm and twist. works grrrr8

fwiw the rain x latitudes touch, I have the 26 and 16 and the 26 gets hooked up and boom!

yeah,i tried them and had to modify the end of one,but it helps having every tool in the world in my garage(wood shop)

Yesterday I installed a set of SilBLade wiper blades. I should say I installed one. They have the same blade in all sizes so I was able to order a matching set in 26 and 15. However only the 26 came with the proper push tab adapter. I called and they are sending me the adapter sets for the 15, and were sorry to have omitted them. imagine that.

Meanwhile I know they are a touch expense. However I had a set on my GTO for over 4 years without any issues. Out in sun, heat, and getting ice on them. I will see how they do on the G8 but I suspect I will get similar results. making them well worth the money in the long run. as they are cheaper than 2 sets of any other wipers.

I should have the other one on this week.
