Wiper Blade Specs

[Angrey]

Okay, I've searched. I can't seem to get a straight answer.

What are the wiper blade specs for driver and passenger side?

The manual is silent. I've seen 22 and 19. I've also inputted my vehicle info to Rainx's website and it returns 20" for both sides. I'm sure there's probably a small range of lengths that would work on both sides, but what's the factory lengths for each side.

Thanks

I replaced the factory and mine are 22/20 on a 2019 GT.

That's what they measure, 22/20.

Thanks guys,

I wondering if I ignore Rainx and get the 22" for the drivers side if that's going to cause an issue (maybe there's a reason they're recommending 20).

I think the Motorcraft part nums are WW2160 & WW1964

Edit: I have a set of these (see pic)

Per Bosch (better than RainX) website 22/20.

Seems like Bosch top blades are EPDM and I prefer a silicone blade now. Superior from a number of aspects.

Understand.

By the way found this. Might explain the 20/20.

As good as they are with rain, the Rain X Latitude blades aren't great for snow and ice buildup. The casings are big, bulky, prone to clogging and can be a noisy winter weather blade. Also be careful because the blades aren't true-to-size, but actually a bit longer than indicated, so you might need a smaller size.

Awesome, thanks. That probably explains why they're 20" from RainX.

Also, I live in Coral Gables, so I don't EVER consider ice or winter issues. Furthermore, rain in FL is different in intensity than most other places in the US. It's rare, but I've sat biting my nails in a downpour so strong the entire car was whitewashed (you could NOT see anything outside the car) for 5 minutes praying I wouldn't get hit by a moving vehicle (and too scared to move my vehicle because I literally could not see). It's not unheard of for us to get double digit rain totals in a 24 hour period or a few inches in an hour.

Oh, I know. My parents used to live in Deerfield Beach.

According to Rain-X's website all their models are 22/20 for my 2019, but 19 for your 2016. What could have possibly changed from 15-17 to 18-22?

Nothing. It is a mistake on their website. 2015 is listed as 22/20.
