  • RRAAAAAAAAAGEEEEE!!!!! Windshield wipers!!!

    It's time yet again to replace the wipers on my G6. Is there any after market blades that will fit the clip on my 2008? This clip infuriates me. Not much gets me spun up about this car, but I'd like to drop kick somebody in the junk for this stupid windshield wiper fiasco. This pisses me off more than my clunking intermediate arm in the front end. Here's my clip.

    If you get the OEM replacements they come with adapters to use on 3 different styles of clips, including these

      I cant remember what brand they are but I got some from advanced auto parts and they have that same clip and work a lot better than the OEM wipers

          They should have spent more engineering dollars on things like brake rotors and i-shafts instead of re-designing something worked well for decades.

              Thanks for the tips! Pretty much the only auto part chain stores we have in Alaska, are Napa and CarQuest. The freaking dealer wants $40 each for the wipers! WTF?!? The last time I bought them, I launched into a tirade about the price and they sold them both to me for $40. That's still way too much. That sort of thing just really grinds my gears. My OEM blades didn't come with any extra clips either.

                I know I replaced mine with Trico Neoforms--which has the similar pushbutton mechanism.

                total was areound $40.

                  funny enough i have the same issue. i need to replace mine but refuse to pay 30 a piece for wipers.... ive actually seen newer model 6's with the j-hook arms... which is the general standard for every other car in the world.. lol.. honestly ive been thinking of searching the local yards for the j-hook arms and replacing mine so i dont have to go thru 60-80 for wipers.

                    just look in the package for the new blades. the michelin radius have them and the rain-x's do for sure. I've noticed in the smaller sizes that clip isn't included but I see them at walmart, o'whorely, napa, advanced and autozone. just check the package before you buy them. they're there and not hard to find
