You have taught me how to change a few things on my car and it’s saved me a lot of money. The stealership has a labor charge of like $30 just to install these simple things.
I’m glad I could help! Yeah the “stealerships” have even had the nerve to go up on their labor charges too as well as the parts! But that’s exactly why I wanted to make this video!! Thanks for the comment!!
Yes, i watched your video for the rear wiper too. Now i can do both front & rear when the time comes, all due to your taking the time to make this video & share your information. Thanks SO much!!😊
Thanks again, after your help with the rear window used this for the front blades which were even easier. Slight moment of panic when I put the 24" on the passenger side. Operator error quickly corrected. Worked like a charm. I did ask the oil change guys but he said "we don't do the newer blades." I guess in his world 2018 is a new car. Thanks again.
Awesome! Happy that I could help!! And They actually said, “we don’t do the newer blades?!” 😂 😂 I’ve heard it all! You should go back up there and show them how to change them! Thanks for the comment!
@@MeAndCarKeys the impression I got is that they just do the basics and don't want to stock all the infinite varieties of wiper blades. But newer?? thanks again for your help.
You just literally saved my life at some point in the future. My wipers have been flying off like crazy and I thought I was nuts. Now I’m sitting pretty with the right adapter that I couldn’t find before!
Thanks for the therapy and instruction !. I thought I was losing my mind going back and forth to Walmart buying different blades that were all supposed to fit. 😡 I feel better already 😊
Mazda dealer can’t see me for three weeks. Valvoline doesn’t know how to do these wiper blades. On my way to the store to buy these wiper blades. Thank you so much.❤
Excellent tutorial. Previously tried installing the Michelin Guardian wipers I purchased at Costco on my 2017 Mazda CX5 but wasted about 30 minutes before concluding none of the adapters work. I went with your suggestion instead and ordered directly from Amazon. Thank you for making my life easier.
You’re very welcome. And that’s why I posted this video, so that nobody else would have to deal with the frustration of getting the wrong set! Thanks for watching
This has been sooo frustrating! I’ve tried 4 different sets on our 2019 CX-5 and although they all “claim” to fit, not a single one was even close! Thank you for this video, you’ve saved me lots of future frustration!
I tried 3 different brands and finally brought it some where and tried to have them replace it.. with no luck. Then I looked in my mazda book and it talks about replacing the rubber piece only. But, I'm glad you found this brand, it seemed easier to install instead of taking the rubber piece out. I will try it!! Thanks!!
Man... I just bought new wipers for the first time on my 2020 and I did the same thing only I watched your video before installation. Back to the store I go, lol. Thanks for sharing this video.
I try and change my wiper blades every fall. I bought Michelin ones from Costco a couple of years back and they didn't have that adapter for our CX5! I got frustrated and gave up. The wife recently mentioned her wipers are wearing out and I had flashbacks to that struggle. Thanks for posting this, I can see what I am supposed to have now....
Thank you so much for the video, I bought RAIN X wipers which I've always used, but none of the 3 adapters fit properly. After watching your video I went straight to the Amazon site and ordered a set of Trico wipers. Thanks again.
I changed out ONLY the rubber part for my Mazda CX5 windshield wipers. Got it at the dealership so it’s a perfect fit. It was $12.49 a piece. Huge savings vs. replacing the whole part. Make sure you still have your OEM wipers intact.
Gracias! Did the same thing, purchased twice! Going back to get the right ones! So far loving my 2017 Mazda CX-5. Got it in “risky” red! But is my favorite color!
Wow! 😂 you did the same thing!! I guess third time is a charm! 👍 I love the Mazda red! I think it’s their best color! Happy you’re getting the right ones!
You are very welcome!!!! That’s exactly why I posted this video, so that people wouldn’t have to struggle to find the correct set like I did! Happy that I could help!
I saw this video just after I got home from Autozone. Just a heads up, for my 2019 CX-5 the Bosch ICON 24OE and 18OE with adapter 6 work great. I appreciate this to-the-point, informative video without a lot of unnecessary talking. 👍
If you are looking for silicone wipers with the right adapter, PIAA Si-tech 97060A and 97045A also come with the correct adapter... I believe it is the "F" clip for newer Mazda.
Yes! Thank you! Never had trouble with my wiper blades until this mazda! Pep Boys messed it up and my mechanic gave up saying he couldn’t find any that fit! I will try to get the next pair on but still may have to resort to black tape! Omg Mazda!
@@amanday1963 😂 😂 glad to be the one to do it!! I remember my frustrations too when I was trying to replace them!! Thanks for the comment! Glad you got it!
I just got a pair from amazon as well using their car filtering system. I can't image what a pain it would be to find it on your own as there doesn't seem to be any standards for all the different adapters. Even the wipers I got came with 6 different adapters.
@@MeAndCarKeys So far I haven't been able to locate anything that attaches with the push lock tab. I have seen "universal adapters" which means you have a 50/50 chance of it not working.
The dealer charged me $67 to do that, and they were some bulky, butt-assed ugly, NON OEM ones. I was pissed. How dare they replace my wipers with something other than what I had, without telling me. I just did my rear wiper today, next time, the fronts.
@@MeAndCarKeys I ordered the 24-17b online but I’m getting the 18-17b from the dealer tomorrow bc it’s going to rain before I can have it shipped here 😂
How is it no one realizes Mazda went back to the old school wiper blade refill, that only cost about $17 a pair. No need to go out and replace the whole wiper at $30, $50, or $70 from autonoarys stores.
I’m sorry. I was trying to find a link. If you search on the companys website. Trico.eu.com they have a list of stores that offer their wiper blades. I hope this helps some
