Wiper Blades?????
What size wiper blades are you using on your SD's
May sound like a foolish question but the reason I ask is this.
Mine has 20 inch blades on it.
I had a set of "winter" blades from my old F150 that were in my garage. I first thought great I can use them on the SD. But the winter blades were 22inches
I gave it a second thought and tried them on the SD anyway.
They fit. and I dont me they will do in a pinch .
They sweep the entire windshield without touching or riding up on the windshield frame. When you think about it 22 inch blades would just cover 1 inch more on the bottom and top of the blade
One thought is that the SD's come with 22inch blades, but on the day mine was built they ran out of them in the bin and put on the 20 inch blades
Maybe emtabmm can help out with the "high tech" question

I installed 22" Bosch. For me they seem perfect. I have read(on this board) some people have had wiper motor problems with 24". This may be only an isolated incident. That's why I went 22".
