Yes a lot of people do have the 22" blades including myself, I personally have the Valeo's from the Tirerack, they are buy one get one free, I am on my second set, each have lasted me about 18 months before showing signs of wear.

BTW 20" is the OEM size wiper blade.

Thanks for correcting that.

 

With OEM's there was still a good bit of space above and below the wiper arc.
I use 21's for more clear window to see out of...

 

I just replaced my stock blades with 21" Latitude wipers, what a difference!!!!

These things are great! No streaking, no noise, and they stood up to the snow and ice that moved through last night. Drove from DC to Raleigh over the weekend through the rain/snow and I couldn't have been happier.

I landed up ordering a couple of sets of Valeo's from Tirerack last night. Can't beat the price, and I've had a difficult time finding a bad review on them anywhere from truck, beemer, G35 and Nismo forums. All wipers do a great job when they're brand new, so time will tell.

The only place around here that I could find that carried them was in Toronto. They want $31.99 per wiper! I bought 4 wipers for $61.xx shipping and taxes in US. If I don't get nailed by UPS for brokerage/handling fee's, that's a great deal. Tirerack'ss site states that UPS will not be collecting anymore from me when they arrive because Tirerack precollects on behalf of the Canadian gov't, so we'll see.

 

That explains your weirdness!

 

BMW, G35 and Nismo'ers are people too!

 

No comment! I won't give RP the opportunity to ban me!

 

Thanks for the advice, you guys, on getting 21" or 22" wipers instead of the old 20", for more clear windshield ....wish I would have thought about that before I got my rain-x latitude wipers a little over a week ago.

On the other hand, I put on a new set before I took the family up to San Antonio for the weekend. I ran into a few showers, but with the new wipers and a fresh application of rain-x on the glass, I had no problems whatsoever.

 

Step up to the 22'' its much better. I have had the Valeo's for 2 years now and they have worked great.

 

Is the windshield on the OBS big enough to run 22's?

 

Whats OBS?
