Default s2000 wiperblade sizes? no manual =[

i just bought an S and it doesnt come with a manual. my wiper blades are crappy as hell because the last two days, its been raining. i checked on this website and it told me 20s and 16s. i just wanted to double check with you guys.

also, if anyone needs good(bosch icons, some of the best on the market. retail 22.99) and decent-priced wiper blades, amazon has them for a nice a deal. 17.25 for 20s and 10.56 for 16s plus free shipping!

OEM refills FTW. and yes 20 and 16 are the sizes.

If you ar going to buy aftermarket, buy the PIAA silicon blades. They are uber quiet and out last and out wipe any rubber blade I have ever purchased.

PIAA wipers are the best imo.
i've used bosch icons/excel, rain x, valeo ultimate etc.
piaa out performs everything on the market.
factory size is 16/20 but you can up the wiper size.
i don't have s2000 at the moment but from what i remember,
i think you can put 20" on passanger and 21" on driver's side or vise versa.
i did that cuz i wanted piaa super sporza wipers and they only come in 19" or larger.

how lazy is america...we go onto a forum to ask for windshield wiper sizes when 99% of places have a little computer to show sizes. And if you dont trust that you can buy them and compare..

that's true.
when you go to tirerack, it will show you what fits your car.
sometimes they'll even have information for your rear wipers, but not all of them
i had to compare my front one with rear one on my z couple month ago b/c tirerack & owner's manual didn't list them.
it ended up same size as passenger side wiper

I don't know if you know this or not, but we're all posting on a Honda message board sharing information. This thread contains a lot more information than the "OMG l00k at my sw33t S2k!" threads.

alright. i just ordered the set and it came in. 20s and 16s are a bit small.

for future reference for people that goes out and buy them, get 20s and 18s.

20s fit okay on the passenger side, but the 16s are too small for the drivers, leaving about 4 inch gap between the two blades

i've stated earlier that oem size is little too small for my taste.
you can go and use 20"/21" combination.
however, i don't remember which side was 21"/20"

btw.. you also have to check the clearance when the wipers are upright... windshields are wider than taller
