Default Recomendations on Wiper Blade lengths

What lengths of wiper blades are people using on the front windshields? I got some of the 18" new precurved low profile design ones and they look about 1" shorter then the ones on my car which I thought was 18's also.

certainly 19 inch on the front, but go for 23 inch on the rear and you get a better view out of the back

Default 20 Inch PIAA Silicone Wiper Blades

I have been using the 20 Inch PIAA Silicone Wiper Blades.
PIAA has an innovative new wiper blade made out of Super Silicone that not only clears a windshield more efficiently, its smooth surface ensures silent wiper motion. Extensive laboratory tests have shown that PIAAs Super Silicone blades maintain a sharp, clean edge for streak-free operation after more than 230,000 cycles, and they resist deterioration from the elements better than traditional wiper blades.

SpideySlave944,

Your right, sorry about that it was a copy and paste from their site. I have no connection or get any kickback. I was just trying to provide as much info as possible. I have been using the blades for a few months and thought I could contribute to another fellow 944 owner.
