Default replacing wiper blades on 2010 XF 4.2L

I have had my XF for a couple of years and am trying to replace the wiper blades for the first time. I looked at several sites and they all said that the RainX Latitude was the blade to use, however, they don't appear to actually fit my car. What does everyone here use? Or where do you usually get your blades?

I still have my original blades..almost 4 years old and they still wipe fine...
But I bought these with the intent that someday I'll need to change them..Just like the Originals

RainX Quantum, there aren't too many options that don't require an attachment, thankfully the Quantums don't--I'm assuming the 2010 uses the same setup as my 2013.

DPK, thx, I will keep those in mind the next time. I will have to see where I can get Valeo's. Out here in the Tucson desert, they don't last 4 years. We're lucky to get 2. I ended up with Trico's They went on okay. And seem to work well.

Bellanca_XF, I have never seen the RainX Quantums. It's nice that they don't require an attachment.

OzXFR, I was going to go with Bosch, but where I was buying them had the 22" but not the 19". Didn't want a mismatched pair so went with Trico's. BTW, I love the color of your XFR.

I purchased the Valeo's. They seem to work okay. My issue is they aren't as thick, or should I say wide, as the wipers I had previously. I don't know the brand that was on the car previously. I can't say I like the way they look. I want to replace them but I don't know with what. Any suggestions?

I used the cheap RainX ones(beam-I think) because they didn't require the attachment, I used Lattitudes too but they were so bulky with the attachment, this is my first set of Quantums, I really like them, even more than the Lattitudes.

What sizes are you using? Tire rack shows 23 & 19 whiles others are showing 22 for both.

Tire Rack is right. The left and right side are definitely not the same size. Whoever is saying that is wrong.
