I need to replace my drivers side windshield wiper blade, currently a Bosch Icon 20". I'm considering using an 18" for the drivers side instead of the suggested 20". Reason being that my current 20" has worn out only at the upper tip from hitting the side pillar while in motion. I adjusted the arm several times since initial installation (dont recall how long ago it was) and could never get it not to hit the pillar. I havent found any other threads of others having a similar issue. I honestly wont mind having the shorter wiper covering slightly less surface area during wiping, but I'm just wanting input from others that couldve experienced the same issue.

FYI, the recommended wiper lengths are 20" drivers side and 18" passenger side.

I did the exact same thing with my current daily, it's a blazer. Never did have that issue with my 96 civic, not that I can recall anyway.

But yeah that's what I did for my blazer, just dropped down a size on the drivers. Boom.
