windshield wipers replacement

Anyone replace their windshield wipers yet ? (not by dealer). If so, how did you do it? There are no instructions in the LS manual which is amazing. If anybody has done it, what type of blades did you use? OEM or aftermarket?
TIA

lol theres little tabs you flip up and then pull the wiper down...the arm is in a upside down U shape...get a flat blade screw driver and pop up the plastic pieces...its very easy.

stick with OEM...you get the inserts replaced at every 15K...at least thats what we do

Listen to this guy, dont put aftermarket blades. Just put in inserts, buy them at the dealer. Once you go aftermarket you cant use the inserts anymore

BenLS... That car is sick!
