Yes it works grest a lot more coverage. Just buy the 24 inchers and take the 20's off. Replace with the 24s and you're good to go.

I put 24 inch Bosch Icon's on my 2004. It took about 10 minutes and it was snowing at the time. They work great.

All I did was measure the radius of the existing wipers (it had 18's on it), then measured and saw that I had 4 more inches to the outside and top of the windshield. 4 inches X 2 plus 18 was 26, so I ordered 24's to give me a little leeway.

I am needing replacement blades and this sounds good. Any recommendations on brands everyone is using?
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Ditto, now I need to get 24's for my work truck(F250) b/c the space the 18" cleans compared to the 24's in my truck bothers me, I'm always looking at it when the windshield is dirty

I have 24" wipers on my 04' SD. I have Rain-X blades on right not, the ones with the ribbed plastic frame. They work good thus far. I had 22" wipers on the truck before, 24" are way better.

This thread is perfect timing. Just got done driving through a white out with wipers on their last leg. Thanks for the info.

Doh! I just bought a set of new blades for my truck - haven't put them on yet though. Maybe I can exchange them...

Another Vote for the Icon's by Bosch, put them on my wife's car heck of a difference...soon as I can find an excuse to replace my stock blades on the 08 350 I will do so with 24" Bosch Icon's, kinda on the spendy side but worth it!!!
