Hope this helps,
C'ya,
Why not just use a 20" blade on that side then?

I would like a few more pics of the process if possible. So if anyone else does this, take some pics along the way. Thanks, and great thinking.

Hey EstorilM
Would you mind putting the pics back up so I can follow along with the Rain-X method? I need new wiper blades and do not feel like converting to D1 blades... If you dont feel comfortable putting them back up here then please feel free to PM me and I will give you my email address where you can send them. I just want to see exactly how its suppose to look.

Default Here's how I did it...
...before I found this thread. I got the plastic pins where I work, but I think they are readily available at auto parts stores.

Yes, 20 inch on both sides. Works better than any wiper set up I've had on any vehicle.

Alright thanks man, Ill be getting a set this weekend. Any luck with the rear wiper blade to? Id love to replace all 3 of my wipers together. Not sure what size my rear wiper is or if Rain-X even has anything for the rear.

Unfortunately, no luck with rear. And all those "You can pick one up at XYZ Auto" have never panned out for me.
