Still, that's a year's worth of blades for $20. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 12-28-2008, 07:32 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Rensselaer, NY Posts: 254 | I just bought a set of rain-x latitudes and I love em. I got 21 20 and 18. However I had to adjust my passenger side wiper arm because the previous blade wasn't 20 inches and the new blade hung off the bottom of the window by about half an inch. __________________ | | | 12-28-2008, 10:14 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | wipers are wipers.... if they fit on the wiper arms, they'll work... its just a matter of how much window you want wiped. duh. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
