Hey all new to the forumI pick up my 09 Vibe on Saturday but i need to find out the wiper blade size for them. I checked a couple of store but noone has the 09 listed.The only reason i need them for Saturday is because im going on a long trip after picking the car up and just like the reflex better, less of the annoying wiper on dry windshield sound.Thanks guys

Look in your owner's manual. It's sure to have them in there.Or....Pull off the old ones, walk into the auto store and measure them up against the sizes offered.

speaking of wiper blades, i like the design on the 09's...they look sleek. seems like alot of new cars are coming out with the flex kind of wipers.why do you need to change out the new ones tho? the 09's wiper design isn't the ones with the metal frame on it. it's the flex kind and should wipe more evenly and more quieter.

No need to cross-reference part numbers. The Oktane parts clearly identify the driver's side as a 24 inch and the passanger side as a 16 inch.

Some guys with the older Vibes were having problem with fitment of the Reflex blades.Not sure about the 09's,but something to keep in mind.
