I know that versa has 26 and 14 inches for wiper blades but I was wondering if I can reduce 26 to maybe 24~25 and raise 14 to 15~16..

I want to buy better wiperblades but I can't find good ones with 14 inches..

the only real way to be sure is to measure it all out throughout the full path of the wiper blade

You can try that - but it is likely that an oversized passenger side wiper will contact thetrim on the right side of the windshield.

I have thought about re-installing the passenger side wiper 1-2 teeth rotated CW and having a longer wiper blade. I have't tried it yet. Both wipers should rotate a couple teeth easily without hitting the windshield trim. I don't know if that will cause any wind noise at speed though.

The passenger side is actually 13", however, the 14" works. Anything longer I think will hit the edge molding on the windshield.
