Default Windshield Wipers

Hi, I want to replace the wipers on my 85 because they dont seem to work very well and dont even get the washer fluid completely off the windshield. I have searched and found that a lot of people recommend "Trico Exact-Fit" wipers as replacements. What Im wondering is what size (length) is supposed to be on the car? Mine dont really hide to well under the hood and I think they are supposed to go basically all the way under?

Any help is appreciated!

20"

Though depending on the blade, you could go to 19" or even 18" if you are having problems of them hitting.

Yes, Trico Exact Fit will work. As will:

Trico Teflon
Anco Aerovantage
Rain X Weatherbeaters

Plus I'm sure others would work as well.
