no. its best to keep the same sizes, especially w/ the passenger one. if you get that one too big, then there's a possibility of them crashing into each other when they're on...

i wouldn't mess w/ the size on any of 'em

^^^ it's not a problem to find bigger size without blades crashing into one another. When wipers are off there should be space between blades and when you turn wipers on blades shouldn't go outside window.

I have rear wiper blade 24" without problems

nice, i'm gonna get 24" when i replace my rear wiper. but i look today, passenger side doesn't have much more room to increase in size, so i'll prolly keep it the same.

I didn't get a rear wiper, that still remains the one thing I didn't get on the car that I hate not getting now. Every summer I'm happy I didn't get leather, and I got everything else on there. I didn't even think about that damned rear wiper. Damn't!

I am with Ham here... I am happy NOT to have the rear wiper. With the shape of the car, nothing sticks to the rear window once you get going anyway. What might not come off, generally can be removed with the rear window defrost.

I like Tibby's rear wiper, although I use it not often.
It's very useful when car was standing for a while when it was raining. And you clear your rear window with one button.

But I don't like when rear wiper is horizontal when off.
