Unhappy I want ANCO 14" winter wiper blades

I can only find 15". I think they would fit but I hate to take that chance. Can anyone help me out with a good source? Has anyone tried 15"? Thanks in advance for your help. ...
NOBODY has replaced their wipers.???

Re: I want ANCO 14" winter wiper blades

I've been wondering the same thing. I haven't found the right size at local auto stores and wondered if a longer wiper would work. The internet was my next stop.

Re: I want ANCO 14" winter wiper blades

I talked to a guy at Autozone about my fiancees Jeep. They didn't have the right size, only an inch bigger. On the Jeep, going up an inch worked fine, it only increases it by 1/2 inch on either side, so it didn't go over the edges of the window. I think a 1/2 inch on the top and bottom and you'd still be safe. I wouldn't go any bigger though.

I kinda had the same issues trying to find 14" winter wipers....napa (here in NH) didn't have 14's....not sure if they're available or not....so I bought 13's.....I think 15's would be too big and overlap.....I will call them tomorrow and see if 14's are available!

Re: I want ANCO 14" winter wiper blades

I got new blades at wal-mart something like $2.88 a blade (not refill, and eliminates narrow base blade) If I remember right it was 16 left 14 center and right. I wanted to try rain-x refills but same problem 15 is a small as I've seen them.

Re: I want ANCO 14" winter wiper blades

I went to Napa and they were able to help me although I had to go up one inch but they worked fine! Was wondering initially what you were doing posting about winter blades during the beginning of June then I saw you live in RI... God bless you!

Re: I want ANCO 14" winter wiper blades

Search in the General section for winter and wiper blades and snow threads. There are at least a half dozen that had parts numbers for 2 or 3 brands, heated wiper blades, heated window washer fluid systems and other things discussed. I don't remember the exact names of the threads.
