Few options...

or

Wal*Mart? Very highly doubt thier is any reason you can't pick up these wipers at ANY run of the mill parts store.

You can get them anywhere.

I believe they are 20"

To be certain, take one of yours in to compare length.

I went with the Trico wipers when I last replaced mine. I do not recommend them.

I might spend the huge amount of money and get those blades that never need to be replaced. Would be interesting to use in the Florida heat.

Anyone else have any suggestions. Both of my wipers started tearing off today. Auto Zone was the easiest place to get to on the way home and they didn't have refills and none of the wipers they had would follow the contour of the windshield.

I use Rain-x and live in the South so I don't need super blades but they do need to have full contact on the windshield.

Any ideas?

Chad, I have had good experiences with my Bosch wipers.

I did go with a 19" on the passenger side to ensure contact all the way to the edge.

My preference is the NAPA Teflon Coated blade inserts. Long lasting, smooth wiping, inexpensive, reliable.

Thanks Max, but we tried the Bosch wipers last night and there was about 4 inches that didn't touch on the passenger side. Changing sizes didn't cross my mind.

Tomas, Napa was great to deal with, sooooooooooooooooooooo much better than Auto Zone. It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I'll get to test the new wipers out. Thanks!!!
