Hi,
Barely a year into ownership, I find myself having to replace the wipers. It's even garaged every day to boot. Anyway, it appears the OEM wipers have their own assembly with a fancy plastic cover (I assume for aerodynamic and reduce wind noise - similar to some Audi, Acura etc.).
Do you folks just buy inserts and re-use the metal stiffener and frame? Or buy entire wiper replacement unit? I haven't tried to see if I can actually remove the frame from the hanger. I bought some inserts and replace the passenger side just a couple of months ago, and looks like it is not working as well either. Store ran out of the 24" (IIRC) on the driver side. I've cleaned the windshield with Windex and wipe it with Rain-X as well.
On a recent trip, it was pouring like crazy and the wipers weren't doing their job
