Plus-Sized Wipers

I just added the plus-sized wipers to my truck.. WOW what a difference! I got 26 inchers on there now. They get almost the entire wind shield.

I've been running 24" s for years I never thought to try any bigger.

24" is probably the best. I remembered 26 and went with it. I do have a small part that does not contact on the right hand side when its in the down position. Oh well.

I run 22" wipers

I tried the 24" and the work great. Problem is during light drizzle. They chatter/screach across. The 22" don't do this.

If it becomes a problem I will swap them out.
I bought RAIN-X Latitude blades and their extreme curve makes them hug the windshield nicely.

I run 24" Bosch Icon's and they work great.
I also use a glass cleaning clay on the windshield and the wipers last a LOT longer and work 10 times better.

I'm a big fan in Rain-X. I never bought into it assuming it was marketing hype. But when I bought this truck it had the Rain-X treatment and even in heavy rain going down the freeway I didn't have to use my wipers! Right then and there I was hooked.
