red wipers=rice. Please don't do it. Buy some Rain-X Latitudes and you won't be sorry. Just measure the old ones and that is the size you need. Personally, I just got 20" for each side.

Re: Windshield Wipers

Oh yeah the latitudes are awesome. the are the one piece flexible ones and they work great! I like the idea of blacking out the whole car. IMO, it would look much cleaner if you kept everything black. But it is your car not mine, just wanted to give my $.02

Re: Windshield Wipers

yeh dude i appreciate the input so much that's why i'm on here. i'll check out the latitudes.. any idea how much they run? ill check ebay haha

edit: seems that the gen6 runs All Rain-X Wiper Blades driver 24" and passenger 19" from their selector guide.

Re: Windshield Wipers

about $18 each (expensive i know) but i got mine for $11 each. just check around and they'll eventually go on sale. Now that i think about it, mine might be 18". I can't remember. My driver side one is smaller than what it is supposed to be. I got smaller so it doesn't rub on my windshield banner very much.

Re: Windshield Wipers

I got Rain-X too, but they're no Latitudes. They were around $8/ea at Wal-Mart.

I think I got 18" and 20", like the Rain-X sizer thing said and they fit perfect, the passenger side hits the edge of the windshield a little bit too.

OT - You guys think we need to create a "Wiper Review Thread"? :lawl:

Re: Windshield Wipers

If you have trouble finding Rain-x -- never heard of them up here in Canada actually -- BOSCH wipers are pretty wicked as well.

The Microedges, or the Icon's are all nice. I think the Icon's are top of the line..but its like 30$ each here. Not sure about down there
