Greetings from TN!

Hey! I'm Willie and I joined with the hope of finding answers to questions pertaining to the 2014 Fusion Hybrid I recently acquired. I don't mind stating that I couldn't help but notice that this forum doesn't seem to get much activity in the way of new posts. I guess I'll do some topic searches and check back from time to time.

Ask questions and you'll get answers :-)

You're on! ;). (and thanks)

I bought a pr of replacement wiper blades at Walmart the other day. Thinking that they were 27", based upon measuring them, I bought one made by Rainex and one made by Michelin. I figured I'd do my own comparison test and know what to go with next time. Anyway, for the life of me, I couldn't install either brand. The OEM mount was totally different than either of the blades or the adapters that were included. Frustrating to say the least.

After joining the forum and being able to use the Search function, I am now of the impression that Motorcraft blades are the way to go and assume (I hate to use that word) they will fit w/o a problem. Also, that 26" is the correct length and not 27.

So, based upon what you just read, is there anything else I should be aware of? Advice, perhaps?

Thanks again.

Willie

The blades are not the same.

Driver side WW-2700

Passenger side WW-2601

Thanks Murph! I forgot to mention that in my last response. I also wonder if there is a comparable blade(s) available at a better price (ie. $12 plus p/h @Rock Auto).
