Hi,
As I do not have the original windscreen wiper blades on my -95 :eek: am I not sure what size they should be. Mine are about 455mm long (almost 18 inches), but at least the one on the passenger side looks a little long...
Anyone know what's right?

20" blades are what's called for (508mm).
13" for the back window (14" will also work)

On my 97 with the original blades, on a cold morning the blades would hit about 1/4 of their length, really a poor setup on that curved windshield. I put on some 18 inch blade with the extra pressure arms and it did help so maybe someone also had this problem and went with the shorter blades.

I have a 99 blazer and a 96 s10 both take 20 inch on the front. I find though that they are the crappiest blades I have ever seen and lift off the window at speeds higher than 50 mph. I find 18 inch blades work much better. (x pounds of force distributed over fewer inches means cleaner window?) You dont really miss the extra length.

It does call for 20" blades but I would try the 18's like the other guys suggested seems like a good idea

i desided to replace mine with triple edge silicone blades and im pissed. the manufacture claims they don't streak but do they ever. the last inch and a half of the 20 inchers hang off the window too.
