Looks like 24" for both sides. For future reference, TireRack.com does wiper size lookup.

Okay, on the topic of glass in general... I have a question, maybe someone out there has had a similar problem.
The windshield of my 88 IROC gets a "film" on the inside. I can clean it and it looks good for a week or so, then if you run your finger across the glass you can tell that it is covered by something. I've even had the glass replaced, so it is brand new and yet I still get this strange film build up on the inside!
Any ideas?

Works wonders.Partly the film can come from stuff in the vents getting blown onto it like the previous post said, but I've read that the main source is the chemical particles that evaporate out of the plastic/vinyl (and probably some leather treatment stuff too) in your car's interior.
ArmorAll apparently makes the film much worse than it would be without it having been used on the interior. Also if you use sunshades in your windshield whenever you park outside, it should reduce the film's accumulation rate since the sun won't be 'beating down' directly on your dashboard anymore.

As I understand it (from reading something in the depths of the past), the film is caused by off-gassing of the plastics in your interior. Even if you cleaned the heck out of everything inside your car and the inside of the glass, and then parked it in a dark garage, a film would still develop.
Personally, I believe there's a conspiracy between the plastics manufacturers and the window cleaning industial complex.
