Wiper blade size

Hi,

As I do not have the original windscreen wiper blades on my -95 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?

Re: Wiper blade size

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

Re: Wiper blade size

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.

Re: Wiper blade size

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.

Re: Wiper blade size

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

Re: Wiper blade size

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.
