Anyone here has Silblade wipers??

if you do, does it squeak when you use them in the rain??

I'm getting a few squeak here and there when it drizzles out...but works fine if it pours

and also, is 22 inch and 19 inch the right wiper length for our cars?? The 22 inch wiper seems a bit smaller than stock(by about half an inch) and the 19 inch wiper seems a bit larger than stock (also by about half an inch)

I read about the silblade wipres but never used them. I have Bosch Micro Edge wipers for my Maxima for two years and they still work great. I also use RainX so that increase the wear. The TLS uses 24" on the driver side and 19" for the passenger side. I'm still on my original blade and it's been over two years.

I've got em, but the drivers side is actually 24" and the passenger side is 19".

These blades got better over time for me, initially they chattered a little, but after they had laid down a layer of silicone on the windshield, they worked great, and water beads off nicely now. I used to use Rain-X, but dont have to anymore.

Try cleaning off your windshield nicely with some dishwashing liquid, and maybea scothcbrite pad with light pressure. Maybe you just have some contaminants on there that need to be cleaned off.

I get the slightest squeak, but it doesn't really bother me. I think Hyde is right; 24" for driver's side, 19" for passenger's. I forget where I ordered it, but it wasn't very clear on the website, so I emailed the guy to make sure he sent me the right ones.
