Windshield Wiper Blades - where do you buy yours?

Time to replace the wiper blades for our 08 Cayenne S. May I know where you buy yours? Do we have to buy the ones from dealership or can I just go to an auto shop or online? Are they hard to replace?

Please recommend.

Thank you.

Not hard to do at all. Yours being an 08 if could be 1 of 2 style from factory. Older style has an extra little cover on the end of the wiper arm. Fitment and looks could be a little off w/ newer style with molded receptacle on blades.

I have seen that thread somewhere, but can't seem to locate it now, why is it always like that?

Thank you so very much, gentlemen. Glad I can just use after-market ones!

DIMF, slightly off topic, but how to you like the Leistung Resonated secondary cat bypass?

I have a 2009 Cayenne GTS and am looking to do the same mod. Any drone with this pipe?

Cheers,

Hi Folks,

Has anyone figured out which of the Bosch models on Amazon are for the "older" 2008 Cayennes? Would prefer to buy from Amazon vs. the dealer, just not sure if I trust the Amazon model check thing on their site...

Amazon Amazon
vs.
Amazon Amazon

I like it a lot, and will highly recommend the mod. Build quality was excellent and Rob is a very nice guy to deal with. And the sound, on sports mode... heavenly. sounds mean on acceleration, but not disturbingly loud on regular driving. Switch to normal - and you can hardly hear it grunt.

I tried the ones they sell @ Costco (made by Goodyear I think), I absolutely hated it, almost got into an accident 'cause I couldn't see a jack for a short period of time when snow/rain mixture came down hard on our way up to Whistler.
I ended up getting OEM ones from sunset imports.

I bought mine at Napa Auto Parts. They are OEM Bosch blades. They take roughly 30 seconds each to change.
