Genesis 2015 3.8 RWD wiper blades

[Roikins]

Best blades I have ever used are Valeo. I have them on my Audi and they are amazing. I want a set for my 2015 Genny, but I have been unable to locate them. I bought the Audi set from TireRack.

I think I might found them , Amazon got them, they look pretty neat , looks similar to those I bought , same shape and look
Here I found them

Just found out also that is not that good to live across to street from the beach It might have nice view , but for car and windshield , wipers and paint the sand is not good.
Can easy get scratch marks , windshield etc, and I was wondering all the time , why my wipers are gone that fast

One thing I have learned is that whenever I clean my windshield off I also wipe off the cleaning edge of the wiper blades. Seems to extend their life.

I felt that the wiper blades went bad too quickly and was disappointed. Around 5 months.

I've had my 2015 since last June and the wipers are still working great. The car sits outside at work most weekdays, but is garage kept at night/weekends. I applied RainX once and I also regularly clean the windshield and blades (not just when I wash the car).

Hmmm... I read that as wiper blades would be replaced in the first 12 months ONLY if there was a defect in material or factory workmanship. I don't think that worn out wiper blades fall into that category!

If you go to your dealer and tell them they are not working properly, this have to replace them. I found this out reading another post on here regarding the Gen 1 model. I have only owned my car for 6 months and my wipers are still working fine. If I have issues with them before the 12 months are up, I will be sure to reply back as to how my dealer handles it.

That's not true - based on the wording of the warranty, they don't HAVE to replace them. They might - or they might just clean them for you - or they might tell you there is no material/workmanship defect so you're out of luck as it's normal wear & tear.

The fact is that wiper blades are a normal wear item, yet many won't bother to clean them regularly. So maybe the dealer will "spot" you a set, but maybe they won't. If the cost of replacement blades is a big deal to you, then the better approach is to keep them in good condition to maximize longevity yourself!

Valid point.
