Wiper blade change options

We have a 2009 Damon Astoria with 32" wiper blades (Trico 67-324 or equivalent). The wiper arm is a heavy duty arm (wider than typical automotive arms) with a J-hook. The length of the wiper arm is more than I'd prefer and more than we really need--it wipes areas we'd never need to see through--and when we're traveling at Interstate speed (generally around 65 mph) the wind blows the driver wiper blade off the side of the windshield. I believe a shorter blade would help this, but I need one that will fit the arms. Can anyone suggest a shorter replacement that would fit these heavy duty arms?
  • Pull the arm off and take it to an auto parts store. They should be able to set you up.
  • Thanks for the replies, especially Jim@HiTek who got it right. I now have 28" wiper blades. Next time I may go for 26", but now I know how to find them.
