but their guide indicated it needed 2 24" wipers, against my better judgement, I got 2 24" ones, which obviously didn't fit. Bringing in for a swap, they didn't allow it, only returns, but with their 'great price' over, I couldn't get it at that price anymore.

I made the same mistake, but $8 for two wipers is good even if you have to find someone else who needs a 24" one. When I went they were BOGO at $7 and change. That is a great deal on that type of wiper even if you can only replace the one you need most. (drivers side).

LOL, I was thinking of that when they told me that I can't do an exchange. But I thought wiper ain't that bad now, and maybe I would do a 26 on the driver side to cover up that little section between the 2 wipers that is not wiped.

And the correct sizes are 24 for driver and 19? for passenger?

I created the same error, but $8 for two wipers is excellent even if you have to uncover someone else who needs a 24" one. When I went they were BOGO at $7 and modify. That is a lot on that kind of windshield wiper even if you can only modify the one you need most.

I got a deal on some RainX wipers a couple of years ago, full price was about $50 for all 3 but I got a bottle of window cleaner, RainX and a towel. And I was able to order the Bosche blades from a local NAPA dealer for about $50. Still not cheap but better than the $75 for OEM
