    Bigger windshield wiper sizes for boxes!

    I can say, without a doubt, that 20" and 22" blades fit without cresting the top or side of the windshield. A 20" blade will clear the drivers side, while a 22" clears the passenger side. I don't have pics because my digicam is crap, but they will fit. I have to exchange the 22" one at the store though because it doesn't have the right adapter. :nonono:

    FYI, this may or may not apply to box Townies. I think the Townies had a different windshield so the above may not apply.

    Grrrr. I went back and none of the 22's had the adapter I needed. So for now I'm rocking 20" on both sides. At some point, I'll pick up another 22" and use the adapter off the 20".

              Wal-Marts cheapo 22" had the right adapter, but I like Michelin blades. And I refuse to run mismatched wiper blades. That to me is like having 1 Silverstar low beam light and one GE pos low beam light.

                      Thanks for the pics. Why is it always the drivers side arm that has rust on it?
