Anyone else run 18"?

[Big Ray]

wiper blades? Its just something I've always done. Gives me a bit taller field of vision when it's raining out. Can't remember when I started doing it. I recall picking the called for 16 inch and thinking it was rather dinky.
Opted for the 18 inch instead, worked fine, Last long time. Must have had a brain cell or two that still worked...

I do. Have 18" blades on mine. Rarely get used. Maybe last a year. Sun kills them, esp sitting against a hot ass windshield.

 

[Big Ray]

They get used plenty here...humidity alone calls for them some days

 

[SpeedlabDan]

Yea I run 18 but the wiper motor likes 16s better

Basically try it at your own risk. Some say the longer ones work fine. Others say even the short ones are terrible.

i have always generally tried to "upsize" any wiper system an inch.. if not 2 in some cases... that said, sometimes it doesn't always work out... catching the molding, etc...

Read the title and thought ....

Yep, that's why my wife married me.

Then I read it was about wiper blades.

 

[Big Ray]

sounds irresponsible. replacing 16s with 18s. next thing people will be swapping 350s for 454s or putting LSs in everything, even mustangs. I am sure you will void your warranty by doing such.

 

[Big Ray]

That's allright. Got some sucker in India that'll warranty it as long as tell him the warranty is still good!!

Has to be a mod. And Bent was too quick to claim it was not him.

Just because I can read doesn’t mean I did it
