biggest windshield wipers?

[godofdew11]

Silly simple question, whats the biggest wipers people have been fitting on these things, factory ones look small.

I use 24" winter wipers. 24" is the biggest you can put on a SD. Keith

yep 24 doesnt make any since why they put 20's on these things.

the more area you cover with the wiper blade, the less force the spring on the wiper arm can exert per inch of wiper blade....

Shouldn't matter though.

Pair'a 24s on mine since new (Replaced the short ones)

so are you saying that putting a bigger wiper blade could reduce the effectiveness?

I haven't had any problems with the 24s. Benn on my truck since the day I picked it up 2/6/04. Keith

huh that makes no sense at all the blades lay flat and still squeegee the windshield. I've yet to see anyone wear out a set of wiper springs so i'll stick with my 24's

yeah, like i said, shouldn't matter. I could see it maybe becoming an issue at high speeds with lots of rain, but even then probably still not.

im runnin' 22's only cause i couldnt remember what size id put on last
time...the 20's (from the factory) leave a tremendous of viewing area
un-clean...not as much an issue in the rain but in snow f'git about it !

next time ill put 24s on it <again>
