Default Windshield wiper slap

I read somewhere here that the solution to this problem is to replace the stock blades with one an inch shorter.

Anyone got a part number for one that works?

Someone told me to go to 18" blades.
Haven't done it yet. & he said it won't effect vision in rain.
Another solution"Use rain-X"

I had this problem before. Make sure the pass side is not installed backwards. the mounting holes are offset. If you use the on wrong it will stick out too far to the left. Flip it over and try it. If you dont get what I mean I can take a picture for ya.

I just replaced my wiper blades with the 20" Trico Exact fit from Advanced Auto. They are a thinner blade than stock and clear each other. Hope this helps.
