Wiper blade options for Model S

[David29]

Just curious. Still OK with the 19 size? For some reason, they are cheaper on Amazon than the 18 size. No issues like the earlier post that showed them to be a tad too big?

I had not noticed any problem in a few weeks of use. But full disclosure, when I had my next annual service, Tesla took off the Bosch blades and installed new ones (not Bosch, whatever Tesla uses). I managed to get the technician to give me back the Bosch blades, which were hardly used, and will reinstall them when I need the next change.

Regarding size, this thread seems to recommend 28" and 18". Owner's manual states 26" and 20". Thoughts on which sizes?

I think that manual refers to the latest Model S (based on the pictures of the front fascia and center screen)

Alright! These Bosch wipers are WAY better than the stock ones. No more chatter or squeaking. Thank goodness.

Only problem is the shorter, passenger side blade at a 17OE is a bit short. I think an 18OE would be a better fit. I ordered one of those and will let everyone know.

The 18OE is the one for the 2018 Model S (2012-2020?), not the 17OE.
