Default Windshield wipers

Does anyone know if it is possible to replace just the rubber wiper on the original wipers that came on my 2009 370Z without having to replace the whole metal blade assembly. If so, how do you do it? Thanks in advance.

You can buy the refills at a local auto parts or the dealer.
The bosch brand if available are a very good choice.

Tell me more about your Rainx. I was thinking about purchasing a pair but I read mixed reviews on them. Also, do you use the spray as well?

If you go online and put $50 in your cart and use the code MAYT, they give you $10 off in addition to the $10 discount that you mentioned. You can buy online and pick them up at the store. I didn't buy any, but I put 2 each of the driver and passenger wipers and it came to $51.96 after all of the discounts. $12.57 each for the passenger and $13.41 for the driver's.

That's awesome. When the windshield gets dirty and you clean it, do you have to respray it? How does it work?

I recommend Rain-x windshield washer fluid. They've got a couple different ones.
