Noisy windshield wiper blade. Replace? With what?

Driving in the rain today, my 2022 Sidewalk Edition suddenly got noisy each time the passenger side windshield blade wiped. I suspect that may indicate it's time to replace it, so looked to see what is available. According to minimania.com, an OEM replacement is 18" on the drivers side and 19" on the passenger side, attaches with a J hook, should be replaced annually, and is their part# G3NMA1700 for $52.95. Searching at Amazon brought up lots of choices Amazon claims would fit, for less money, but almost none of them have the 18 + 19" pair and a J hook.

Has anyone replaced your windshield wiper blades yet and been happy with your replacement blades? If so, what did you choose, and where can it be bought?

You have to make sure you have the correct blades. These is the newer design. Other options: https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2022-...xterior/Wiper/

You can just get the refills on the sock Denso/ Genuine MINI design: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/61617438135/

Yep, make sure also the window is clean, some people even clay bar the gunk on the window. If you use rainX like i do you have to apply it all the time, couple times a year otherwise the wipers like to jump. When is super cold and -15 here the wipers do that no matter what.

Glad to help.
