(stupid question) How to replace 17 cx-5 wiper blades?

I’ve just looked in the parts catalogue and they are listed as the exact same price for the new blades and rubbers for both the old and the new type. The old parts were handed for right and left hand drive because of the shape of the aerofoil but the new ones are not.

If I am not mistaken, the passenger wiper is smaller (length wise) on the generation 2 than generation 1 and therefore the drivers is longer. Am I correct (scratch)

I had to go out to the garage in freezing temperatures to answer your question!!!

No, they are the same - 24 and 18 inches.

Oh, that is good to know. Thanks for going out to the garage in the cold. You didn't have to :)

Right here it makes me believe that the change of wiper blade is the cost-cutting measurement reducing number of parts for the 2017 CX-5 world wide.

Anchorman definitely is one of the best contributor for this forum. With his extensive knowledge and information on our CX-5 were lucky to have him here!

Didnt aware its already in freezing temperatures in UK. Were having record-breaking 94F / 34.5C highs in November for the last several days!
 
Does anyone have a source for replacement wiper inserts? Just the rubber part. I can't find it on the Med Center website?

You have 2016 CX-5. From Med Center Mazda website, for front they’re #2 in the diagram with 2 different inserts for driver and passenger sides:

Won't have blades because the vehicle is still new and they don't expect to replace them this early
 
Thanks yrwei52 for the kind words. Ill put the illustrations and the part numbers up for the 17 when I get back from work. As for the weather, our little island gets a lot of stormy weather off the Atlantic. Its very much Seattle weather with a few bouts of artic cold that blow down. Its very much autumn here 👍
 
Not that sinister I think. Every model in every colour was available from the import centre (just an hour across the sea from us) at launch. Every part for every model is freely available.
