Everywhere I go to get wiper blades they list the 451 blades for my 2016. Where are you guys getting yours?

I've been wondering the same thing. Have yet to find any replacement blades that actually fit the wiper arms on my 2016, either. Been using the same blades that were on it when I bought it brand new 3 years and 8 months ago.

I just got mine at the dealership. They were about in line with the chain stores on price. Just 100 mile round trip.

Actually not for the 453 model. They do list them but they are wrong. Ours are the same length also. They show 2 different sizes which is the 451s.

Hi All, new member here. Just got a smart 453 on July 11. A 2016, gas. Loving it so far. The wiper blades need to be replaced so I bought Rain-X Latitudes at a local Advanced Auto Parts based on the size recommendations on their website. My problem is, I'm having a heck of a time getting the old ones off. Trying to follow the instructions in the owners manual and look up videos on YouTube. Haven't found any videos for 453s. Could anyone give some assistance or send me a video link? I'd really appreciate it. I've already snapped off the plastic tabs on one of the old wipers and don't want to do anymore damage. Thanks.

Just a follow up, I managed to get the old blade off. Now I'm wondering if the Rain-X blades I bought are going to work. Is the style of this wiper considered a I & L? Thanks.

The 453 uses what I believe is a bayonet style of attachment for the wipers. Unfortunately, it seems that it's a non-standard size that I've yet to find an aftermarket replacement for. My car is almost sipping on 70k miles, and I'm still using the blades it came with from the dealer.

Autozone. Get RainX silicone. They work way better and last waaaaayy longer.

I've always used RainX Latitude wipers on my cars, but I've bought them twice since I've had my 453, and neither time was there any way to actually attach them to the wiper arms of the car. Unless something has changed recently, the hole in the blade that the arm is supposed to slide into isn't wide enough.

Can I ask ... how did you do that? Because I've been trying to get mine off for a few days now, even broke the little clips on one, and can't slide it off for the life of me.

I actually saw some sort of wiper blade adapter on Rock Auto that I'm tempted to try.

Second picture has the STOCK retainer. You can see where I popped the axle pin out. Just file on both sides til it fits in the STOCK holder. $75 at the dealership. 20 dollars and some elbow grease.
