Wiper sizes

[95Escahoe]

Whenever I get wipers I go by what the computer in the wiper aisle says, forget what size but its the same for either side, does anyone use a smaller wiper on the driverside? The kid at Advance said something about one of his buddys doing that on his gmt400, cause I just realized it hits the window trim maybe a 1/4 inch

My grandpa had an 18" and a 21" blade. I got 2 18"s this time.

The manual calls for 18". I use 19". They look like they go over over the top of the glass from the inside, but from the outside they just come up to the edge but not over the windshield to the roof.
I've found that the larger blades do cause a bit more drag, so I'd recommend that you should pop the cowl off & lube up all the moving points of the wiper transmission before installing the bigger blades. Axle grease has worked well for me, but someone else may have info on something that they've found works better.

Eh? What? Why?

I agree with you sewlow, if anything the wipers could be bigger not smaller

I just run 18"s...looks proportional.

I have 22s, but I used shorter wiper arms.

Stock is 18"

I always run 18". I have the windshield banner decal and they just clear it.

If it ain't rainin', I take mine off! To me, that's the best proportion! Lol!
Gives a different view over the hood, that for sure!
Most people don't even notice.

I'd do that..but here you never know when it is going to rain.

I keep my truck washed and windshield rainx'd. If I'm doing 35+ wipers aren't necessary. I may just pop mine off now....
