Default Windshield Wiper Blade?

I'm getting ready to change my blades and I was just curious as to how long they are "suppose" to be. I've got 20" ones on there now and they tend to ride over the edge and scratch the black molding if they are high. Just wondering if it's because they might be to long?

I would not buy new blades...just get the refills only
my brother changed blades on his 89 once and they never hid under the hood anymore...the stock ones are very low profile.

I know which ones fit as I've gotten them before, I'm just trying to determine if they are the right length or not.

You were right I was wrong. They are 20" if theyare scrapping you could try adjusting them at the transmission but that is a pain. Its not fun to be driving in the rain and your wipers hitting each other. Had to have the dealership fix that too.

i just got Anco U20R refills. i did have to rip the plastic rail off the thing, and slid the new rubber onto the metal rail of the old insert. five minutes of minor labor.
