What type of windshield wiper blades does a 2005 Chevy Cobalt use and where can I buy them?

I bought a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt in that year, and I have not changed the wiper blades since. The blades seem to be wearing out (i.e. - They frequently fail to get about 15% of the water off of the areas they traverse), and I want to replace them. I don%26#039;t know anything about windshield wiper blades. First of all, what type of blade does my car use? What is its designation? Secondly, from which stores can I cheaply buy decent brand replacements? Thanks.|||The factory uses a special type of wiper blade on the cobalt cars.You do not need to replace the wiper blade unless its bent.You should stop by your local chevy dealers service dept.They can replace the wiper insert (rubber part) of the wiper blade and it will work like new again.This will also cost less than replaceing the wiper blade with a aftermarket blade that will not work as well or clean as well.Best of luck.|||You should be able to purchase wiper blades for just about anywhere. Walmart, KMart, Zellers, Canadian Tire(if you are in Canada), etc. The main concern you need to know is what lenght (inches) each blade is. Also most department stores have a reference book to check the blade lenght. Depending on how much you are willing to pay, the range is vast. I purchase the $5/blade cheepy ones and replace yearly. Some can cost much more and may need to be changed just as frequent. Your choice.|||You will probably have to buy two sizes of refill blades for that cobalt.


The blades are two different sizes, unfortunately, available at autozone.

|||dealer would be the best bet, i know those little rear wipers on some cars are a pain to try to get off and on. i dont know about infiniti but all you might need is a little wiper insert to get replaced not the whole blade. i say its up to you where you want to get the blade or insert for it but go to the dealer to get it put on, they know what they are doing, most likely they will have a oil changer come out and put it on for you, oil changers do wiper blade/ inserts all the time especially when winter hits.

Changing wiper baldes on renault Clio 1997?

Hi,





Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to get the old wiper blades off my 1997 renault clio and how to get the new ones on.





I thought it would be pretty straight forward, however, I%26#039;ve been unable to do it.





Thank you all|||Yes, but the mechanism may be tight with traffic film. If it makes it any easier take the arm off the spindle so you can manoevre the whole set up more easily.


I%26#039;ve yet to figure out how to fit those new floppy blades.|||Where the blade clicks into the arm there should be a little tang that holds the wiper on to the arm. pull down on the tang and pull the blade off the hook.|||Lift the wiper arm off the window and turn the wiper blade at 90 degrees to it,some have a little clip that you press,but it should just slide off as you press down.Hope this helps
