Bigger wipers?

Yes they fit but with the 24" there is a small amount of overhang*

(*pending removal of the plastic protectors)

I think most people can go with 24" and 22" on the NNBS 07-14 for MAXIMUM wiping performance

I saw a NBS with the same wipers they did not have any over hang with these wipers

I have 22" on mine the passenger side doesn't look like it is up in the air but you can tell it doesn't catch very well when there going on the passenger outside edge

My 2001 and 2012 both do it on the passenger side corner. The 2012 does it less.

It's more noticeable with beam style wipers than with conventional style. The conventional style has more spring/pivot points than beams and curve to the window better.

2012 Yukon Denali XL

I had conventional style blades on my '88 GMC truck. The outside tip was not pressing against the glass curve.

I solved that by cutting a tie-wrap and slid it into the wiper arm hinge closest to the edge. It worked.

It was like using my finger to press against the wiper blade.

Yep Ive seen all kinds of tricks. I just leave mine alone, doesn’t affect anything and doesn’t bother me. I use Rain-x anyway so I rarely use wipers, and I like my Bosch Icons so beam style it is.

i tried bosch icons and wasn't impressed i didnt even get a year out of them. went back to the tryco onyx i think its called.

Yea... Bosch are "prettier"...... Here in Florida, wipers rarely make it a year , more like 6 months.

I've tried different versions....... "New" work the best...... Ignore fancy advertisements. IMO
As long as they don't chirp, chatter or squeak & I am a nut keeping the glass clean.
( but we all know that )
