16's do fit with zero modification or hanging up on the frame.

Mark- there's a wiper for the plastic window in the back?! I kid, I kid.

even with the cheaper blades if you wax them ocasonally they last much longer. ive had the same set since i got i bought my jeep in 2012 and they just recently started to streak and smear.

I ordered the 15" AERO rubber/teflon ones from Amazon bc of all of the positive reviews. Not a huge fan. Will get a better 16" next time.

I think "aero" wiper blades are marketing at its finest. I have used all sorts and the old metal frame blades with a good Teflon rubber is the best. I have had "areo" blades lift off my windshield on my supercharged integra. The opposite of what they were supposed to do.

I agree with the Bosch recommendation. Seem to be the best these days most others having gone down the toilet.

I use the Bosch Icon beam type. They come in 15" and 13". Advance auto has them. You may have to order online, then pick them up at the store, or have them shipped to your home.
