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.

Do the evolution and/or icon sit flush at the end of the passenger side? My bosch clear advantage and oem motorcraft do not.

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

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.

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

Good to know that they've upsized now. That extra inch doesn't sound like much but I believe it helps. FWIW, my wife's car takes a 24" blade on the driver's side and I've never had issues with either of the Bosch's chattering in that long of a blade. I stupidly put on another brand's mono-beam and it didn't last but a few weeks on her car. Took them off almost immediately as the performance was crap.

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.

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.
