Whats the proper wiper size for the max ?

Anyone tried the michelin wipers ?

 

drivers side 26", passenger 17

 

The size can be found at your local car parts store, AutoZon/Checker/Kragen/NAOA/Pep Boys etc. If you get really ambitious, go out and measure them.

I got some Rainx units for 8$/side and they’re good in the snow. Maybe they should be called Snowx

**EDIT, beat me to it

Interesting, that’s the same size for the 5gen.

 

I checked the michelin wipers and Reflex wipers, and they both only have 24'' and that's what they suggest for the max.

What do you think about that?

I think that I have reflex wipers right now, so that has to be a 24'', and it aint bad at all. I'll measure it tomorrow.

Do you guys use 24''?

 

Ok I found out why the wipers sucked. The previous owner installed reflex wipers 24'' and 17''. But he installed them backwards, so instead of the wind pushing them down, the wind pushes them up :P Thats why they sucked on the highway.

Wayyyy better now. Works fine with 24'' and 17''

 

Hey fellas,

I have a 24 and 18 on the driver side. I installed the Michellin wipers and they are awesome. The 17 inch on the drive side is missing a small portion so I went back to Costco { (don't tell :-) } and exchanged it for the 18 incher. I reside in Toronto so as you might be aware there is like a crapload of snow here winter time and these wipers do an amazing job in rain or snow. I would recommend them 110%

Cheers,

 

i have them... i was given a 100 dollar gift card to target... so i bought them with that... they were like 20 bux a wiper LOL... would never have dont it if i didnt have that gift card..

anyway... 26'' 17'' ....

they work well.. but i live in cali so i dont really use them TOOOO MUCH

 

usually you need to have the place order our 26" one. my bosch icons have lasted/worked very well.
oh and it's in the manual...

 

Yeah but I've asked the question 3 weeks ago :P

 

and i answered 19 mins ago... LOL

 

 

....I concur. I have these wipers as well, very good, especially with the rainy weather we've gotten as of late down here in Miami.

 

well you shoulda read the manual 3.1 weeks ago.

 

Correct Think Bosch Icon

 

I had old reflex on, they were good but they were steaking (never tried them new, car came with it).

Just bought some rain-x latitude at walmart, they have the 17 ans 26 stock. Cost 20 + 25 CAN$. So approx 50$ with tax. Bah... They done a nice job, and they dont streak.

I applied rain-x also, didnt get a chance to try it yet though.

 

Bingo. Both my cars have them. Much better than the RainX.

 

Why would they be better than the rainx?
Arent they all pretty much the same anyways ?
