Wiper Blades
Guys,
Time to get new wiper blades. This is probably the most boring topic but what is the part number for wiper blades for the AMV8 Vantage? Any brand will do.

I just put these blades on the Rapide and passenger side does not sit flush to windshield. Tried two different sets. Driver side is perfect. As they get used the blade does push down better...
Any reason why the blade wouldn't totally against the windshield? The install as was simple.

I've got links to the ones I use and recommend in this product listing:

Not worth stocking them, easier to point people to Amazon lol.

Spoke to dealer and they use an actual AM part number for wipers that fit perfect on the Rapide; $144 a set... If the Icon's don't level out I am going OEM.

Just installed OEM blades on the Rapide and the passenger side has the same issue as the Bosch Icons; the blade does not sit flush on the windshield. With the blade in the resting position, there is 4" gap of where the blade does not touch the windshield. What is going on?

Yes, and that is what I was thinking with the tension. What now? Is there a spring that gets replaced or do I need a wiper arm? FWIW, the Bosch Icon's go on much easier than the OEM Bosch.

Even though the blade does not sit flush on the windshield, it did wipe the windshield clean when driving. Next time at the dealer I will bring it up and see what they say. You'd think the spring could be replaced? The dealer usually will try to do steps to fix vs. taking the easy path and just replacing the arm if that's an option. Lord only knows how much that wiper arm must cost.

Your 2012 Rapide use different wiper blades than pre-2012 as the arm changed, the OP was looking for 2008 Vantage which has the hook. I also install the recommended blades from Redpants on my 09 Vantage and they fit perfectly
