Wiper blade size

I have an '06 RL and am planning on installing the PIAA Super Silicone wiper inserts based on all of the positive commentary on the forums. They come in 26" and 28" sizes, one of which is right for the driver's side.

The OEM RL driver's wiper on my car measures 27 and 1/2 inches. I suppose that that means I should go with the 28" size of PIAA's.

Does anyone know if the 28" size inserts will cover the appropriate windshield area without bumping the edge or if they should be cut down before installing?

Thanks.

Driver's side - 28" (700mm) PIAA part no. PIA94070
Passenger - 19" (475mm) PIAA part no. PIA94048

Both fit like a glove as is.

OK thanks, lland, I will order them.

The best pricing I've found is autobarn.com. Any other suggestions?

I originally bought mine from cardomain.com but they are now part of anythingauto.com but they don't carry the inserts any more. My next set will come from autobarn.

Just ordered from autobarn.com.

OT - Then was bounced to a magazine offer for up to 4 magazines for $2 each for a year's subscription - including Time, Newsweek, SI, Fortune, T&L, Esquire, Better H&G, etc. Ordered 4. This works - I have done it before.
