Wiper blades....

[Grmoore1964]

I know - a trivial question compared to most things discussed on here, but I just replaced the factory wiper blades on my truck. I looked up on the Rain-ex website and it said to use 22" blades. I installed them, and it looks to me like they are an inch short.



Has anyone else had this issue? Has anyone tried 23" refills?



Thanks -

Can't say for sure on this truck, but I've never had anything but OEM fit "just right" on any car I've owned. Best bet if you still have the originals is to take one in and match it up.

On my 2011 the blades measure 22 3/8.

Thanks guys - I'll see if I can dig the old ones out of the trash and measure them. It really seems that 23" is the right size though judging by how much of the windshield isn't cleared compared to the stock blades. I've always liked aftermarket blades better than stock, especially in the winter when snow is an issue.

I use 24" blades on my 2010. Just replaced mine yesterday.

I would think the blades would be the same for most trucks... . 24 is what my 06 has... . any parts guy can tell ya what the size is... .

Did you buy these from Subway?

Use the factory replacement blades there is nothing better.

I have driven over a million miles in the rainy North West so I have some experience on the subject.
