im not really sure what size it is, but i recommend Bosch. all their wiper blades are generally good. i heard the PIAA silicone ones were good but they're expensive so i never get em. the Bosch seems good for me

Measure them. They're different sizes, I know that. Driver's side is a good 3-5" bigger than passenger's.

EDIT: I wanna say 19" and 16" or 19" and 14", but that's a mighty big range and I'm just guessing here.

I just got the cheap Rally Brand from Pep Boys. 2.99 for two 18" and 3.00 for the 22"? Remember the car uses two different sizes.

For the sizes, you usually don't need to know - every time I've ever bought wipers, they've had a book right next to them all listing the sizes for every car practically in existence. At the very least, they can look it up on their computers.

funny thing is wipers comes in "two" and both are either 22" or 18" Bought myself both sizes just to make it work and sold the other set to another lancer buddy.

Man, I was WAY off. The only thing I had in the right range was the difference in size between the two blade. (I'd said 3-5")

I thought they were 21 and 16, damn glad I didn't buy any new ones yet, specially cause my passenger side practically doesn't wipe water no more!
