I just went outside and measured my wipers and the Driverside is 23.5" and the passengerside is 19.5".... I never changed my wipers before and I know you said they were 24" and 20" will those work??

I've tried lots of brands of wipers and ,believe me , OEM ones are the best ones.
Bosche: the rubber hardens in one month. no joke
Aerofoil: the arm is made out of plastic, not stable at all. the blade works fine when new but after the teflon coating is gone (2 weeks) it starts to squeak
Triple blade, Multi-blade: do NOT get these, they WILL scratch your windshield.
Exact Fit: simply junk.
Motomaster: the blade works like the one on Aerofoil, just sucks
The only aftermarket wiper I would recommend is PIAA, which is used on my other car. Looks great and performs great.

I agree. The Bosch blades are good for a month, then they turn to crap. From my experience the OEM blades are best as well. Except when they charge you $97 to put them on LOL.
As for the size, thats the direct fitment I got off www.piaa.com , I looked at the wipers when I drove the GS yesterday, you could actually go an inch or two longer without bumping anything to get better wiper coverage. 24 20 will be perfecto
