wiper blade sizes

I went into AutoZone the other day and i wanted to change my wiper blades for the winter season, but they had different sized wiper blades: 16" / 17" / 18"

just wondering what size(s) i need. i wanna change both driver and passenger side blades.

btw, i have an 04 if that helps.

I can't remember - but I do know they are different lengths on left and right.

Next time you are at autozone, take the old wipers in with you. It only takes a couple of seconds to detach/re-attach them.

Another thing to watch for is some of the brands need a different blade holder. Ask the guy if you are in any doubt.

I'd be surprised if Autozone didn't have the fitment guide from whatever company makes the wipers that tells what you need to put them on what car. Sort of like finding the right part number for an oil filter or gas cap...only for wiper blades.

it's easier to replace the whole blade assembly than just the blades. the books will tell you what length you need.
