Smaller driver/passenger wiper blades?
Hey all,
Does anyone know if smaller wiper blades can be attached in the front? Reason being, I installed a COOPER S windshield decal and I'm always afraid that the wiper blades are gonna ruin the decal if I use them too often. I already had one decal peel off, so I decided to cut part of the blade so it wouldn't sit against the windshield and hit the decal. I'm just curious if anyone has had luck with using a smaller set of wiper blades or if anyone might have had an issue with this. I always put a good coat of rain-x on my windshield, but it doesn't stop me from having to still occassionally use my wipers. Thanks in advance!

Don't see why it wouldn't work its just a universal mount, just be sure you can still see out the window while driving if you need to use the wipers, as that is not something you want to find out too late.

Over the years I have installed more than one wrong sized blade, usually by switching the passenger and driver side around. They always fit and they always work. They never cover the same amount of glass, of course!
Experiment with any size you like, just be sure you can still see enough out the windshield when it matters.
