Call an auto patrs store and get the size. If you have time to post this stupid tread, than you have time to call the auto store. If you are having such a big snow storm, why would you want to drive init anymore than you have to. Stay in the comfort of your own home.






I am what I am and it is what it is.
I am the 2nd most untrusted person in the world next to a lawyer,welcome to our dealership, may I help you?

Eh, winter blades are kinda ok in my book. They will keep from freezing up but they are close to useless at highway speeds because they start to float.

Go with the all season blades and use the De-icer window washer fluid. This is way better then the winter blades IMO.

Peace Out!

I think the largest I would consider is an 18" length winter blade. Most longer ones have a higher blade body height. They float at highway speeds big time. The 18" ones or shorter do still float, but definately not as bad as longer ones.

Ive got a 20 and a 16 on mine now, The 20 fits great, while the 16 doesnt curve enough at the edge of the window (when the blade is down). First year using them, and im satisfied somewhat. I knew they werent gonna be as good as normal wiper blades, but they do help tons with pushing off snow.
