replacement windsheild wipers

[Dread_Parrot]

Hey, if you have to replace your wiper blades on your QX, I found a set that is quiet and resembles the originals. Mine are two years old now and state inspection was due September, here in Virginia. I knew that they would say 'you need new wipers'. So they can make some money on a $20 wiper blade, geesh.

So while picking up some oil for a oil change in my truck I looked at the wiper display at 'china-mart' . They had the new Michelin 'stealth' wiper blades. suppose to be super quiet and at like a cloaking device for your QX.
2011 model through 2013 24 inch driver and 19 inch passenger side.
Easy to replace, press tab on wiper connecter and slide original wiper off, then slide new wiper in the hook on the arm until it clicks. No adapter needed, that is included in the package.

Inspection $16 wiper blades $13 each. Pass easily, I dislike the inspection, cause there is no way some cars on the road could EVER pass inspection, and their out there.
I kept my old ones in case I need one in a pinch, they are not frayed , yet.
Oh they forgot to look at the small wiper on the rear, & I did too !
Hope someone can use this, have a good one.

Thanks for sharing! I wish auto stores sold the back ones as well but those are typically dealer only...
I have always use Motorcraft wipers I buy from the local Ford dealership parts department. They work as good or better than anything I have found and are priced reasonable. I think the last set I got for my truck was $15 each?
I made the mistake of having the dealership at Infiniti replace my wipers once. They charged me $25 labor on top of the wiper blades. I about lost it. Lesson learned. Never been charged labor EVER to have wipers replaced. Especially when they already fleece us enough on the wiper cost alone with their markups.
