Rain x latitude blades

Believe it or not, i've never changed wiper blades on a vehicle before. I went to wal mart to check these out....The book says the driver side takes 24, and the passenger 17 or 18 i coudlnt remember...So does this mean i have to buy 2 sets of wipers to install them?? I really don't wanna pay 40 for wiper blades

No, you should be able to just buy them individually. From what i remember the box usually contains only 1 wiper blade.

I had those on my evo. Didn't work the way they promised. I got Bosch instead, and I am so much happier.

Yeah, 1 per package. I have the Rain-X blades, I LOVE them. But then again, my previous ones have been torn for like a year and pretty much just smeared the water even worse. So anything new seems amazing.

Same here, I had the same blades since 04 if you can believe it. I switched to the Rainx blades and they rock.

These are a rip off of the Bosch Icon's. Bosch's are much better.

I absolutely love my Bosch Icon wiper blades! I have had bad luck with the Michelin equivelants. You need to buy two blades as they do not come in pairs.

I used to work at Napa part time and we all used Bosch Excel on our cars and I have to say they aint worth the money we used to charge people for them. I did order some Latitude Blades since the walmart around where I live is so bootleg they carry nothing in the place.
