I know... I included your quote because those with an older Fit can do icons since they take fairly standard 24" & 16". The NeoForms are great and less expensive though. Honda made a wiper configuration change between the 08 & 09 MY. It's all good!!

My older 07 model can't support it.

I need 14" or it overlaps...

Maybe the bosch ones are a little longer than most...maybe thats what you found out? I know that they all vary...almost a full 1/2 inch either way. The NeoForm 14" is just under 14".

Anyway, I get what you're saying now.

I use rain x latitudes on my GD1 (24" & 16"), their perfect. Way better than OEM

My biggest issue by far with aftermarket blade assemblies on the Fit is that they all sit under the wiper arm, where the stockers sit beside the wiper arm. With aftermarket blades the arm sticks up in the air and, in my ever-so humble opinion, look stupid. It probably screws up airflow over the windshield too.

I had aftermarket blades, got tired of staring through the windshield at the arms hanging out there, and went back to stock.

Yeah, on the newest "Trico Techs" that came out last year, they moved the mount over and lowered it slightly I'm assuming so the arm can sit slightly lower. It doesn't come in 14" though...



The arm doesn't bother me with the NeoForms, but I hear what you're saying!
