Hmmmmm......I mean they fit on the arm just fine but because the original blade sits on there with an offset vs. the blade of the Rain-X does not, the Rain-X end of the wiper gets caught down closer to were the arm attached to the car. It's hard to explain but I know they wouldn't work properly for me. I would have taken a picture if I thought this would have been brought up in a thread later down the road.

What size did you get for the Rain-X. I think I got the recommeded 19" and 21".

Thanks,

Shane

This exactly just happened to me. I believe its rainx wipers do not have any arc and try to lay flat. This leaves the farthest point of the blade suspended off the glass. These are the weatherbeater model fwiw.
