What size wiper blades? I'm thinking 21" on the front but what about the back?

The first page of this thread (the one with the photo instructions) is blocked due to heavy malware. Does anyone have clean pics to repost? I bought some normal D2 blades from Rock auto on sale and they are flinging black spaghetti noodles after only 5 months. Boo!

Rear wiper blades are 14" in length on a D2. Not sure on a D1.

Also, I had very good luck with the Rain-X Latitudes, same issues of a missed spot on driver's side at first, but after a few weeks the blades seem to have re-contoured to completely cover and remove water from windshield... Stock D2 wiper arm. Check out my post on rear DII wiper arm modification to accept regular steel 14" wipers at the link below.

I am not sure if I am too visual a learner, but a 30 second youtube video of clipping these one would be awesome. Can anyone hook that up? Want to prep for winter months, and this is near the top of the list. Thanks.

I am wanting to try this as well but I like the Bosch Icon blades. Does anyone if they work the same as the Latitudes?

the front is 20", but 21" fits front and 14" on back. the bosch icons work, as well. i've got icons on one of mine and rain x on other. no videos, i did not know that this thread existed. It is a pretty simply swap, once you look at the parts, it is fairly self explanatory.
good luck

Two more questions. Do you have to buy a special pin for them to work and is it the Bosch Icon OE 21" or Bosh Icon 21" A and B?
