have you ever watched your passenger side swipe with those 24" blades? I had them on my truck for a few minutes and noticed the outer 4" or so didn't even contact the lower edge of the window when swiping.
pulled it off and put it on the Expy drivers side and put a 22" on there.
another thing I've noticed is that the 24" blades tend to drag more and "chatter" when swiping. doesn't really happen with the 22" blades

Hmmm.... I don't have that on mine.
Only thing I noticed was that the outermost 1" of the pass side blade, when in the parked position, doesn't contact the windshield.
But I get full coverage on the swipes.

The wiper chatter can sometimes be caused by a product like Rain-X wearing out. A lot of guys on a detailing forum I read swear by a product called Aquapel (Aquapel Glass Treatment, Rain Repellent, glass sealant, windshield protectant, Aqua-pel glass wipe) its the same idea as Rain-X just supposedly I better product. I haven't tried it personally yet, but I will be trying it when I place my next detailing order.

Yes, yes it does. :-))
I run 2 sets a year. I change them right at the Spring, usually around April. And then again in the Fall. My wife picked up the new set this morning, Anco (spelling??) Winter blades, 22s.

Joining this thread a little late (and not going to comment on weak squirters and whipping it 
) but I've been running Bosch Icon 24" on the drivers side and 22" on the passenger for years. Right now Advanced Auto Parts has buy one get one 50% off another. However, if you place your order on their web site and use the code "P20" at check out you get another 20% off. Use the option to pick up at the store and it's pretty much buy one get one free.
