I didn't check any of your locations... but the stock wipers suck ass up north. They gunk up easier then any wipers I've ever used before.... I'm dying for a new set. Knowing the 16" fit will probably make my life a whole lot easier.

I'm in dire need of new wipers, was hoping to get through the rest of the winter instead of putting on new blades just to get ruined by ice and salt. I'll have to look into these 16" blades.

I put these on as well - 16" though. The image here says 18". They fit great and so far work flawlessly.

just go and buy them people lol, I been running 16" blades on my jeep for about a year and a half, rain x, cheapos. Right now i have cheap ones on there, i really enjoyed the rain x but only last maybe 6-7 months on our windshield. The 16" blades work fine with no rubbing

Default RainX Lattitude

Just put on the 16 inch RainX Lattutude wipers and they rock! Down here in Florida we get swarms of Love Bugs. If you've ever driven through them you know what a PITA they are to get off glass, paint and plastic. The new wipers scraped off several that have been on my windshield for a week in two passes. They come right up to but do not touch the paint, FYI. Better than I expected and I wish I put them on a year ago!

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

The biggest advantage to frameless wipers is the lack of ice build up in the joints for those of us that live up north, I've been thinking of trying the 16" wipers too, guess I'll drop some cash for them.

You can get two of these 16" rain-x wipers for $14 shipped through eBay:

Default Autozone

After reading this thread I took off my crappy winter blades and picked up some RainX Latitude 16" blades. About # hours later we got about 12" of snow in about 4 hrs and the blades worked awesome. They never gunked up and cleaned the windshield perfectly. I would say this is an awesome mod, especially if you live in a state where it rains one day and snows the next. If you go to Autozone, they offer buy one get one half off on the RainX Latitude as of 1/1/10. Thats what I got mine for and they were cheaper than Wally World. $16.99/blade vs $17.97/blade. Hope this helps!

UPDATE: While my driver side is still okay, my passenger side SUX. I've cleaned the passenger blade and still isn't working all that great.

Anyone else experiencing this?
