Size of windshield wipers

It's really noisy when I am using them. I am going to buy a new set to replace them. Anyone knows wut size they are? PreciseFit Teflon, Reflex Wiper Blades with WetTec, which one is better? Any suggestion? Thank!

Here is the info from partsamerica.com's website:

Drive side = 26"
Passenger side = 18"

I personally recommend going with the Bosch Icon wipers. They have amazing grip on the windshield and last quite a long time.

For Bosch products in Canada, visit your local auto parts store. For Bosch products in Mexico, visit your local auto parts store or Bosch of Mexico online at: http://www.bosch.com.mx/.
Basically, you have to shop around and try your luck at finding them. Any shop that sells Bosch parts (like spark plugs) should be able to order these.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just got a set of Icons at good 'ol Canadian Tire. I havn't installed them yet, but I had them on my previous car, and I LOVED them!

BlackSheep recommended me the PIAA Super Silicone wiper's and they've been pretty darn amazing so far.

I've had those before, and the only issue I have with them is that when the layer of silicone eventually wears off (from washing and such), the wipers don't work as well as they first did. As well, the Icons are frameless, and don't pack up with snow.

Yeah you could be right. Well they're not too expensive so lets see how long they last Hopefully atleast a year, then I might try those WetTec reflex wipers next.
