Default Wiper blade question

Hello all. I read on another forum that they were able to install 25-inch blades instead of the regular 22-inch blades to clear out more water from the windshield. Did anyone do this and/or can vouch for this? Everyone's input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Personally I wouldn't do that. The OEM arm works just fine - and you can replace the rubber inserts for around $7-10 bucks.

The OEM inserts work great too

Nope never crossed my mind. The regular size works just fine.

17 bucks for a pair of OEM and dealer installed. Good enough for me.
