Ford Fusion wiper blade question

[Corollaman]

2016 Fusion oem blades are 27" driver, 26" passenger. All the aftermarket ones I've found call for 28" for both, does it make any difference? I don't want the blade extending past the windshield.

Rock Auto lists Bosch 28 left and 26 inch right wipers at $5. Or go with Motorcraft for twice that if you want to be sure.

I've got a 2015 and am currently running Rain-X Latitudes that I believe are 26" long (packaging was long since discarded). No issues with them going past the windshield.

28" is too long. I am speaking from experience. I think it's Bosch, among others, that spec that length for one of the blades and it's wrong.

Even the Ford/Motorcraft blades that suggest one is 26" and one is 27" based on the part #, both blades are ~26" long. The blade they imply is 27" has a deflector which goes on the driver's side.

I just use the OEM ones since the wiper blade wall at work is a few feet away from me and I do all the ordering so they are in stock. Same with the Mustang blades, the OEM ones fit better.

Two 26" will do fine as well, but as stated above 28" is too long

Just the aftermarket blades in the OE sizes

O and the WW-2601 is driver's side, WW-2700 is passenger side per the catalog.
