Wiper Blades

My blades need replacing but I'm not sure what length they are. I know the driver side blade is longer than the passenger but does anyone know the measurement of the '99 TL wiper blades. I'm also considering getting Bosch blades as replacement. If anyone has these your comments will be appreciated.

get some silicon blades. I think they're 24" for driver, 19" for passenger.

bosch blades are better than silicone blades.

honda blades are decent quality and cheaper than bosch.

1. bosch

I put bosch on my Maxima. Wasn't impressed. The OEM blades lasted longer, so that's what I use.

autozone (or other shops) has a book to lookup the size of the blades

silblades make an awsome replacement blade. 100% silicon and worth every penny 5 year warranty also.

I bought some silblades also, but no blades worked very well until I took it to the shop to get some things done before the warranty ran out and, while there, mentioned how noisy the wipers were.

It seems that there is a problem with the wiper fluid lines. They bleed black into the fluid and make a mess on the windshield. After they replaced mine, even the stock blades that they put back on (lost my silblades) work pretty well.

I just bought two Bosch Micro Edge Excels for my car . It came out to $26 with shipping so I'm satisfied.
