oh my GOD the same damn thing happened to me a week ago!! It rains here 2 days a damn year, and I go out to my car and notice one of the wiper sticking up in the air with no blade on it! Worst part is, checker doesn't sell the 26th inch blade so I had to get a 24, and I had taken alot of money out of my checking account leaving almost none, so I asked them if they could debit it out of my savings, and they said yes, and then the next day I went to Wells Fargo and they told me I had -$30 in my account because the dumba$$ at checker didn't do the savings account!!

sorry for the second post in the same thread, but something's wrong... this thread says PIAA replacement blades will fit in OEM wipers... THAT ROCKS because this site sells replacement blades for $18 (that was a quick search... I'm sure I'll find cheaper when I search more) instead of $46 for the whole kit.
BUT... there are a few threads around here (this is one) saying the driver's wiper is 26", but PIAA's website says it's 24"...
WHICH??? (please) thanks corelventura and polo for finding and relaying this info.

Just got my PIAA wipers in and they are not the same size as oem. The PIAA are wider and longer than oem. I'd def. recommend the PIAA to anyone looking, got tired of dropping 20 bucks every six months at the dealer for replacements cause no parts stores had anything up to 26".

cool little FYI...the piaa blade refills are exact fits on the OEM slots, so no need to buy the whole PIAA kit.

Badabing is confused....
First of all, sorry for bringing this thread back to the top but I'd like to get some defitive input from you guys.
Anybody else out east sick of the damn weather? It's always raining, snowing or just plain wet! Total crap!
That in mind, I need to get my paws on these PIAA wipers. So....do I NEED to buy the wipers (2k3 Max) or can I get away with the wiper blades alone? Also, if I can just order the blades, what size am I looking to get and where can I purchase from a reliable retailer (online or otherwise)?
Thanks in advance guys.
