i got some questions to ask....well first i must say...i need to replace my wiper blades cus they're wearing off....i know for a fact that they're size 14 on passenger side and 28 at the driver side...these are the standard replacement..my main question is that...if i do replace them with, let's say...rainnex lattitude one...can i put 16 on passenger side and 24 on the driver side? cus i wanna upgrade my wiper blades to better ones and the latitude ones only comes in 16 the smallest size...so is it possible to have 16 and 24??

Short and sweet, no. A 16 will sit on the A-pillar.

Some people have managed to successfully trim blades down. Works on some brands.

Search wiper blades. There is a HUGE thread on here about all kinds of options and theories.

You want frameless blades? Then I recommend the Bosch Marathons. You have to cut the passenger side one down, but it's easy using a Dremel; and they work great!

It's an easy process to cut one down, just remove the end caps, measure a few times to be absolutely sure you're cutting them down equally, and chop away! Re-attach the end caps and put 'em on!

There are also many of us that have "upgraded" to the Honda wipers. I did that last summer and have been really happy. They work excellent even at speeds of 85 mph.

I have a Bosh 16 in my passenger side, it works ok.

I have these on my Yaris for almost a year and they're okay. Good enough I got a set for the Camry as well.

Anco makes a frameless 14" for the passenger side, I'm liking them so far.
