I purchased a new 2024 Tahoe Premier and the front wiper blades have a little push button on them for removal.
I recently replaced them, using OEM GM blades.
Are you having problems removing the existing blades?
Nope. It's a piece of cake. My driver side was streaking a bit in a small section and I recently swapped with passenger until I get new blades.
Well, if you don't like the little push button thingies, you could always buy & install a set of arms that has the old-school j-hooks, hahaha 
Unless there is something unique to the way that the newer model's arms attach to the motor, it should be like a 10 min job, and if it's the same or similar to the older versions, you may or may not need a small, wheel-puller type of tool that gets it's little jaws under 2 sides of the existing arms & has a center point screw that pushes against the motor shaft when you turn it & pulls the arm up & off....
WARNING: DO NOT PRESS OR PRY AGAINST THE PLASTIC/RUBBER COWL COVER FITTINGS TO GAIN LEVERAGE, IT WILL CRACK EASILY, AND THOSE THINGS RUN ABOUT $800-1000 EACH !!!!!
As you've probably guessed, I've been there, done that.... cause the OEM arms that were on my '011 when I bought it were all faded & pitted from many years in hotlanta, GA...so I got a new set & replaced them....
Good luck

I figured I can get them at the dealership. The reason I asked is Costco had wiper blades on sale and the book said the would fit and when I tried…well that’s when I noticed the new style connector. I didn’t know if anyone found some that didn’t require a trip to the dealership. Luckily they are the same length as my F150 so I can use them just found it odd why change the design that already works…
AKA the "stealership" hahahaha
I always get my wiper blades at Discount Tire stores. The price is right, and they install them for free.

The Bosch Icon wipers are all that I have used for what feels like the past 10 years. I did find that the most recent set that we put on my son's Honda Pilot did wear very quickly, otherwise they have always been good.
