May be the same rubber material but that does not mean they fit.

I am cautious about posting links to sites that are not sponsors. I've caught grief for it on other sites.

Mind updating this thread once you've installed to tell us (if) they fit correctly?
I saw those but did not order based on a few of the reviews stating they were not the correct size after all.

I've used Goodyear wiper blades from Costco. I'm cheapo!

The outermost passenger blade is slightly lifted from windshield but I don't even notice it...it's too far from peripheral vision.

I hope you're not one of the owners who doesn't drive their beautiful car when it rains, if so then it doesn't matter. LOL.

They fit mine and work well. I got caught in showers my last 2 miles home this week from the office.
