Wiper blades

What is the size of our stock wiper blades? I went on Autozone and they are showing 24" and 18"

And also 26" and 19". I did put in the make and model of the car, 10' TL.

Best blades and size? Please

Go to the Acura dealership. I went there and got new blades for $22 and they put them on for free. Im in canada and id imagine they would cost even less in the usa.

The difference between old OEM and new OEM was night and day. I was driving around in a snow storm with the wipers on saying wow its like theres no glass in front of me its perfectly clear.

Honestly, I have tried almost everything in wiper blades. I have been surprised how well the stock OEM blade inserts works, I just buy a set refill inserts every 6 months.
650mm and 475mm so 25.5 and 18.7 ......so 26 and 19?

I will contact the Acura dealership to ask how much the OEM ones are.

Anybody tried Bosch Icons? Envision?

Or Trico Onyx? Neoform? etc.

I use the Bosch Icons on my 06 and my wife's 14 rav4. They are amazing and last a couple years on my tl, but they are only ok on my wife's Rav. Not sure why that is.

maybe. I'm really anal about not having my wiper blades on when there isn't enough water on the windshield to wipe them, so it it's sprinkling, I'm not using them. lol She isn't that way, so it could just that.

Seriously I have been impressed with OEM, the inserts are cheap. Just need to master the 2 metal strips and get a bunch of silver on your fingers. They have been good in winter and haven't even had the dry squeaks. Think I am going to run to Acura tomorrow and pick up a couple.

Thank you all! I went to Acura and got the blades replaced for $21.95

And they are amazing! How long do these OEMs last? A year?

I use Honda (Acura) inserts in OEM blades. I change them every time I change my oil.
