Wiper Blade Size

[Ctrcbob]

My Tour-X Owners Manual has wrong size listed for Wiper Blades. The manual says:

Driver side is 22 inch;
Passenger size 18 inch;
Rear size is 10 inch.

WRONG. Because I always carry spare blades (since I had a blade fly off of a car years ago), I measured the blades. They are in fact:

Driver side 24 inch;
Passenger side 20 inch;
Rear is correct at 10 inch.

Went and checked my stash of MOTORCRAFT blades left over from all the FoMoCo cars I've had, and they fit Motorcraft Beam wipers fit perfect using the adapters.

The Motorcraft part numbers may have changed since I bought them (for $16.xx each) but the part number on the package says;

WW-2401-PF (Driver side)
WW-1801-PF (Passenger side)

Because rear size is correct! I purchased one from Buick Dealer, then had to figure out how to change it in an emergency. (Instruction in owners manual is worthless).

Get your tape measure out and measure your blades now, before you need them.

Interesting. Good to know. I'll measure mine when my car comes in.

I measured my TourX wipers and can confirm Bob's numbers - 24, 20, 10 inches. In a pinch, you can survive with smaller wipers, but not recommended...

Not the first time when Buick's OFFICIAL information is incorrect. Last time it was the weight of the car.
I wonder how much care had been put into the whole process.
