i think ill have to try that on mine, but im also afraid to take them off to change them, i just replaced the back wiper this afternoon on my way home and it broke into a million pieces when the guy took it off the truck, it was horrible, so now idk if the front one are on any better or not(better attachement system i mean) or the same plastic crap that will break on me again[:@]

I bought a pair of Anco's as they were the only ones that had both sides available at the time. They work pretty good. I think most manufactures suggest replacing them every 6 months or earlier if the conditions dictate it.

All ya need to do is go to wal mart and buy these silicone blades called Triple Edge. They are real silicone, and also come with a lifetime guarantee. I have them on every car in our driveway, and how they work is... you buy them, then fill out the registration card inside, and send it in. Then whenever you need a new set of wipers, you call them and tell them your name and they will ship you out a brand new replacement set. Ive done it about 4 or 5 times, and they send me a set completely free every time.

As for the passenger side hanging over... just because something or someone recommends a certain size doesnt mean thats the correct one to use. Try going an inch or two smaller. On my 2000, its recommended that I use 20" but I switch mine to 18" this way there is no overhang.
