2007 Hatchback Wiper Size

[M4One]

So I've done a search both here and online to figure out what my next set of wipers should be. I decided to go with Bosch Icons. When I went to check the size at Canadian Tire, they were listed as 26 & 13. I thought the driver side was 24 on the hatchback which is what I've been using.

Most of the websites say its 26, but then a couple of users here say its 24. So what is it?

I have it down as 24 and 14 for the front wipers.

Ok, thanks.

I think mine are 26. I'll check. I have the Bosch but the originals lasted 6 years. I would bet that's because I use rainx. I think Toyota replacement wipers (the arm and all not the inserts) are about the same as the Bosch.

get a measuring tape and simple measure what's on there now. If there's clearance use the biggest ones that'll fit.

Remember for every inch you increase or decrease in size is a ½ inch on each tip of the blade.

24 because 26 is not available everywhere. But HB is 26/14 and sedan is 26/13!

26 and 14 as measured.

Thanks for going through the trouble of measuring. Went out and got a couple of Icons. No 14 though, so went with 13. I have to wait until it rains to really test how good they are, but I can already say the Icons are already better in one area over the cheap Canadian Tire ones I was using or even the Rain-X weatherbeaters in that they make much better contact with the windshield.

I've used the Canadian Tire reflex blades and they worked well, at least the later models I got. First gen relfex were crap.

I've reinstalled the original frames that came with the car and they are just amazing, only if they don't freeze in the winter. But its not much of an issue this year lol

I threw out my OEMs a long time ago, which I wish I didn't. Didn't realize how expensive they actually were until I went to the dealership to find out. They were $34/$30 for the set. Refills $11. And while I was there, I asked the guy if he knew the OEM sizes, but the computer only shows the part number. If they had them in stock and not have to order them in, I might have gone with them. Still might.

I recently purchased new Bosch blades. 26" and 13".

I installed Bosch blades (on my 2007) in late 2014. They worked very well at first, but after less than a year they chattered all over the window, and the driver's side blade was pretty much useless. I planned to replace them with something better, but sold the car before I could.

* As I recall, I installed a 26" and 13".

I had my pair of Michelin Stealth blades from Costco for a good 4 rain seasons now, and they're still going strong. No complains, especially since they were only $11 each. (full blade, not just a refill)

I wish they have 13" available.

On my hatchback, I have a pair of newer-styled "Aero" wipers installed , 26 / 16".
(same sizes as those came with 3rd-gen Prius)
No interference so far.

Mine chattered too after a year or so, but an application of rainx fixed it.:clap:

16"???? I cannot believe these could ever fit.

Oh I forgot. Wiper chatter can be fixed by scrubbing the blades with a nylon bristle brush. Also, a really good windshield cleaning is in order.

Thanks. I'll remember this.
