?

most here where telling me to just go with the OEM inserts so after getting the micheline blades and seeing how unstable they where
i go and get the inserts
then i come in and post how i feel about them and whats going on and you say get a new car
dude get a clue Youuuu
A brand new car will have brand new wipers, blades & inserts, No worries! Since you want things to work as they should, a new car w/warranty will give you that.

All of this angst over wiper blades. As I said before, when my blades are not doing the job, I shoot over to Walmart, look up the size on their wiper blade catalog, pick up two high quality blades, go home, layout a towel under the windshield work surface, rip them off and install the new ones (when you here the click and try to pry them off to make sure that they don't come off). Done. 45 minutes tops to procure and install. Now lets talk about something more harmful, the IRS.

Ok so here maybe this will help you to understand what's going on
With the micheline blades I bought and also the ones I took off my minivan I tried also there is no click when I go to snap them in place on the Es I feel a little bit of a pop but then all I have to do is pull slightly in it and they slide right off

When you disengage the blades, are you left with a "shepherds hook" or something else at the end of your wiper arm? The shepherds hook snaps into the blade and once on, very very difficult to pull off. The wiper blade box should have a few adapters that the hook may have to hook into also. I have purchased blades that advertise snap in without adapters. On second thought, maybe Auto Zone might be the better place to go for the blades., They will come out and install for you in their parking lot.
