Default Wiper blades for NX

My passenger side blade and rear blade are starting to squak and chatter, so I'm in the market for new blades. I've figured out the sizes (26" driver side, 16" passenger and 12" rear) but it seems like none of the top brands sell blades with the push-button style mount that's on the NX. Does anyone have any recommendations for wiper blades that fit the NX?

Why don't you just go to the dealership and get refills? I got refills for my wife's IS for like $12, and took me 10 minutes to swap both sides. No need to change the entire assembly, just change the rubber.

My comment only applies to the fronts, however, I would assume you could do the same with the back?

The wipers on the NX really suck. Looking forward to replacing them.

This. The OEM blades are crap. The driver side blade isn't chattering yet but it does a half assed job during a decent rain. That and I'd like to buy blades that don't have to be replaced every 8 months. I always used Bosch blades on my RX and I would be able to go 1 year to 1.5 years on a set of blades before they started wearing down and making noise.

That's interesting. I've had mine for almost 6 months now, and mine still work like new.

The NX has wipers? (says the dude from drought-stricken Southern California)

Seriously, not too many companies have NX wipers online just yet.

wipersdirect.com doesn't have any

The Wiper Store, doesn't either.

Trico online has the rear wiper.

And mine are in their 10th month. Still fine (and by "fine" I mean "good, like they've always been").

I noticed mine is making a lot of sound when it reaches the top and bottom of the sweeping motion. Its not chatter. Its very annoying. Has anyone experienced this? I only had the nx for a month.

I replace blades twice a yr no matter who makes them. I also use some rainX on a paper towel and wipe off the rubber itself and that will make them last longer. Some people use alcohol .....either works well. I do this when they start missing spots.

When you have severe winters no blades survive it.
