WIPERS

[ZSHO]

I thought i would share my experience with a tedious subject as wiperblades and especially with winter upon us,personally find the oem Motorcraft wiper blades to be far superior in its class and just need to verify its the correct part number and not an alternate part #because it will not fit properly based on the adapter,the oem Motorcraft WW-2501 (8A5Z-17528-A) and WW-2043 (8G1Z-17528-A) are the correct wiper blades you will need,avoid any other part numbers,also purchased some Trico wiper blades on clearance at Rock auto,they so far seem great and the fit is perfect for 2.24 ea.  Z      http://www.rockauto.com/

The 10-15 SHO call for the same wiper blade and wiper arm so the above part numbers should fit.  Z

I measured my factory blades to be 20" passenger, and 26" driver. WW2501 and WW2043 were listed in the owner's manual, but WW2501 sounds like it would be a 25" blade - can we confirm it is indeed the same 26" blade that is used from the factory?

My factory blades are going on 3 years now and still work quite well, so I am sold on going with Motorcraft. I've used Bosch, Trico, Anco, and Rain-X with decent results for about a year, and then they start to lose performance.

I have purchased a couple of sets of the Motorcraft (WW-2501)and can confirm it will fit the drivers side perfectly,the (WW-2601-PF)will NOT FIT because it does not have a pinch type bracket....Here are the correct wiper blades needed.  Z  Drivers side MOTORCRAFT WW2501 {#8A5Z17528A} and Passenger side MOTORCRAFT WW2043 {#8G1Z17528A}              http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/CatalogResults.aspx?v=1fahp2kt5dg183206#Search

Thanks ZSHO. I ordered those since that's what was in my owner's manual as well. These factory wipers are still working well after 3 years of daily usage year-round, I'm impressed because I haven't seen any aftermarket blades that fared as well.
