Longer Windshield Wipers ?

Montano · #1 (**permalink**) 08-01-2009, 05:07 PM

I'll be getting some new Bosch Icons very soon and the guide calls for 20" blades. I was wondering if I could go a bit longer, and assuming the part I would need would be 422A & B instead of 420A & B ? Any problems with going with a longer blade ?

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Should work, you're only going 1 inch bigger each way.

I run 22's on mine and it works pretty well for rain, mud is a different story.

You haven't been to Craig's on a rainy day, have you?

Your right! And I bet it does rain red mud out in western OK.

I put 24" on my 2001. One of the first things I did when I got it.

24 inch wiper upgrade

Nifty I wouldn't have thought 24's would fit, I will have to buy some now.
