Okay cool. I wasn't sure if they were the same sizes. And the damn ones on my truck the passenger side one doesn't fit the windshield right so on the right side of the windshield on the edge it doesn't make contact with the windshield. And sure some pics would be good if you don't mind. Also I'm in the same boat as you as far as my wiper arms, mine could use a repaint as well. But I think I might just get 2 new ones cause I'm missing the plastic cap for one of them and it's easier to replace them than to buy paint and go through the trouble of painting them. But if I find the plastic cap somewhere online at a good price I might just get that and paint them instead
Here is the Pass side. Hard to tell in the pic, but the end is touching the glass.
Pretty decent wipe pattern, you can kind of tell in this pic. I also had to move my drivers side wiper up a bit. It was not wiping close enough to the side of the windshield, so I think it looks a little odd, but it wipes better:
and a little bit of the rust on the drivers side wiper arm (pass side is similar):
And on another unrelated note, I put a little window tint on my auto headlight sensor. The lights never seem to turn on early enough, so this should help (who knows, may make them stay on all the time, but I don't care):

Yea, both are 20". You could probably get a 21" on the drivers side to work OK, but the pass side needs a 20". Here is the Pass side. Hard to tell in the pic, but the end is touching the glass.

Oh cool man thanks. The wipers on my truck are the kind that don't have all the support hinge things or whatever you want to call them, so it's basically a stiffer piece of rubber on the top of the wipers that's molded with a curve in it to give it shape, but it just doesn't fit the windshield right. And my wiper arms are way worse than yours are bud lol. You can see how bad they are from a distance in this pic, up close they're even worse.
I usually just get the Michelin blades from Wal Mart for like $6-7 each. They tend to work well, fit the curve of most windshield and last at least a year if not more.
I hate when that happens.

Yeah, that looks horrible, those blades just are not designed for the curved windshield. I usually just get the Michelin blades from Wal Mart for like $6-7 each. They tend to work well, fit the curve of most windshield and last at least a year if not more. I hate when that happens.

I just noticed something, I think my wiper arms are on the wrong side?
Cmanjr, your driver side arm has a bend at the top and pass side is almost straight, mine is the opposite.
So is mine backwards or is yours?
I had my windshield replaced several months back so they could have been put on wrong.
