You could go to an autoshop and they should take care of you. Don't go for the rain-x brand, those didnt even fit for my car and it said it would. I went with those because the bosch wipers weren't in stock. I'm gonna end up ordering the bosch icons.

i went to autozone and got the Bosch Icon that was specified for my car # 463 & 464. When i tried them on, the passenger side was too short from the OEM i have. Is that normal?

hmm that is weird, I know that the 2 wipers should be different sizes. IMO the wiper lengths need to be the same size as the oem wipers.

If you have the time to wait then try ordering from Amazon. If you have the time to wait then try ordering from Amazon.

The ones at the dealer don't cost all that much. I'd stick with OEM.

Well i thought i might save a couple of bucks since the OEM are $88 versus $44 for the Bosch icon.

I discussed about wipers from the dealership and they did provide information about which wipers to go for! I suggest you talk with the dealership!
