I don’t get the issue here. Haven’t replacement wipers for the 2017 hit the aftermarket? I just bought some on Monday.

I went to Walmart looked up the Wipers in the new book that was current enough to have 2018 models and I bought replacement Bosch wipers

That will take a lot longer to happen here in the UK because the aerofoils on the blades are handed so we have to have a right hand drive version. I believe the blades are a cost saving measure and I’ll show some evidence of that comment later.

Yes, I wonder if you’d have as much luck buying those Bosch blades in Germany! I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t even sell them there.

It’s my routine. I buy blades while I am back on Home leave every year.
hmmm, searching for 2017 CX-5 on https://www.boschautoparts.com/en/auto says no wipers are compatible.
What model and part# of wiper did you get?

Isn’t it cheaper just to buy OEM wipers? At some point it gets ridiculous. Considering custom alternatives?

This is what the 2018 wiper manual at Walmart say fits. 18” & 24”

I don’t know what to expect, but if it’s a matter of durability then just buy a couple sets?
Is this a matter of refusing to go to the dealer?
I don’t get it. Alternatives are out there
