Got a question regarding wipers.

Has anybody tried install original 2007 camry wipers in 2002-2006 Camrys?
I've noticed that the original 2007 wipers are the newer type. I haven't been able to get a good pair of wipers.. tried many brands and they all can't wipe the tip of the passenger side wiper.

Thanks ahead

u mean they wont wipe the tip of the passenger side window? thats pretty typical of aftermarket wipers, try oem wipers if that's the case.

i recently bought a pair of these: http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/valeo/ultimate.jsp
they are buy one get one free. Comparable to BOSCH Icon etc.

they are good, but they still cant get the lower parts of the passenger side windshield due to the extra curve. and they have an unsightly plastic mount, but it works great.

HMmm maybe the pasenger side is shorter? try measuring the OE wiper vs the one you just purchased. I hve the silicone piaa wipers...love them(even though in so cal i wont need them much).

The passenger side is exactly the same size.. but the windshield has a bit curve at the tip.. and aftermarket wipers don't do well...

Thanks for the link.. I will look into that oem wipers.

I was just thinking the 07 camry wipers may be good or my 04.

Thanks all.

OO i get what you mean...yea thats kind of odd that the tip off the pasenger wiper doesn't wipe well. I haven't had that problem. i've went through three sets so far, and i have yet to experience that. let us know how it turns out

I guess what the issue is.. not wanting to wipe the entire windshield.. but at least getting another wiper that wipes as well as the original set that came with the car.
Passenger side wipers are 19" and it wipes very clean.

I think my piaa's exceed oe performance....but i've also tried the ions and those are good as well. IMO i haven't had a change in performance in the aspect of wiping.
