Wiper blade length wrong

[psuarmy]

I went to change wipers on my ‘22. Everywhere says it takes a 22 inch driver side blade. My truck has a 23 inch blade. I am assuming there is nothing wrong with putting another 23 inch on? The passenger has the 21 inch.

Some measure off of the length of the actual blade part itself.

I measured the actual blade length and it is over 22 1/2 inches. Not much difference between the two measurements.

@psuarmy I experienced this yesterday too. The driver's side wiper blade is clearly (obviously?) longer than 22" however you measure it. I didn't put on my replacement Rain-X blades because it was so confusing...I didn't even bother with the passenger side. What did you end up doing in terms of sizing?

What I found out is no one seems to sell a 22 inch wiper blade. It seems to be an odd size. So I put a 21 inch on since I couldn't find a 22 inch
Sorry, I put the wrong information. What I meant to say is I couldn't find a 23 inch wiper blade. 23 inches is the odd size that no one seems to carry. So I put a 22 inch blade on.

You put a 21" on the driver's side? Rain-X sells a 22" - I have one in my garage. But even the 22" seems smaller than the stock one...

Sorry. I corrected my earlier post. I couldn't find a 23 inch blade. A 22 inch blade is what I put on.
