    Pepboys has a buyone/get one free deal going through February 28, 2009 on RainX wipers. This includes Latitude and Weatherbeaters. If you're considering an upgrade from the standard wipers, this could be a good time.

    Reminder: the RainX guide is incorrect. 17" is a full inch shorter than the original. Suggest 19" for a perfect passenger side fit. 28" drivers side is a nice improvement, too.

    My local Pepboys had them only up to 26", so that's what I put on the driver side. For the passenger, I got 18", which reaches exactly to the right-hand side of the windshield. Looks like 19" would extend past the window.

    PS: if you're serious about the RainX, it makes sense to buy two of each size. That way you take full advantage of the rebate, since the shorter blade costs about $6 less.

    THAT is the tricky one. We had to buy from the UK to get a killer deal ... only to find the mounting bracket didn't fit. Thank the Lord, for the Disney machine shop & pulling in markers for a quick G-job (whoops, I didn't really say that out loud did I? :p )
