Proper Wiper blade size

Alright, I'm looking to get replacement wiper blades and I'm not concerned with the type of blade, more concerned with the size. I know the drivers side is 26" but I keep finding mixed reviews on the passenger size. Some sites say 16", others say 17". Can anyone verify size please?

I can't confirm the passenger side - but I just wanted to mention that you can buy blade inserts from the dealership. Relatively cheap - as opposed to replacing the entire wiper (er...did I misunderstand what you were saying?).

I wanna say 17 though...?

Why not just go out side and measure the existing blade/insert?

Dude, 1 inch is not going to make any difference. If it were me I would get the shorter one.

Good call... With all this technology sometimes common sense is overlooked. Haha

Read the owners manual. Plain and simple.

Owners manual does not tell size. At least I couldn't find it when I looked.

Also another F.Y.I is that you can just replace the fillers and keep the stock bracket. It quick and easy to.

^^This. I just replaced mine with OEM wiper blades.

1 inch will make a difference. If it's 1 inch too big, you might end up with a bent wiper arm, which $$$$ to replace. But if in doubt, go with the shorter one.
