Wiper blade fitment
Has anybody been able to find a wiper blade for a 2013 f-150 that fit properly? The stock motorcraft beam blades do not sit flush on the passenger side end and miss the last inch. I tried bosch clear advantage and have the same problem. They're also both chattering pretty bad. Any suggestions?

Bosch Icon or Bosch Evolution. I run Icons in the summer and Evo's in the winter as the Evo's are more likely to get torn up with ice, etc and I cannot justify the price of Icon's just to tear them up.

Any of the better one-piece "beam blades" should fix the issue. Trico NeoForms are my choice, because I can get them online cheap (wipers123.com, go search around to find a coupon code) and the same company sells Trico View (aka Aquapel) which is absolutely a requirement in my book.

If I was to use the recommended 20" blades yes, but I always upsize. I run 22" blades on both sides of my 2006. I like the extra swipe, just part of my OCD. :-X06

Ah ok, my 2013 calls for 22" driver and passenger.

Even the new style blades will not contact the lower right (passenger) side of the windshield. It's a few inches up the windshield before it makes full contact. I wouldn't worry about it.

RainEx washer fluid. Never use blades again.
If its dark out and I'm riding down the interstate with the radio up I have had times I did not even know it was raining. |

That extra inch doesn't sound like much but I believe it helps.

I don't think I'd be comfortable with that. But I do run a 24" blade on the drivers side and 22" on the pass. side, Bosch Icons I think is what I have on there. Its been awhile since I've driven her |
plain old ANCO 22" blades for $7 at Walmart work fine...change them to the Winter model in October and back to Summer in Spring. Sweeps the whole window just fine.
