9-5 Wipers

I finally had to replace the wiper blades on our 9-5, and the first couple that claimed to fit the 9-5 did not. The Bosch 22 inch blades are 1/2" too short. The 9-5 stock seems to want 22.5" blades.
I am sure the Bosch blade plus wiper combo would work, but I can't see paying for a wiper assembly when I don't need a new one, and the replacement is shorter than the original on the car.
I finally went with Trico 47-600, for $3.99, from Shucks (Kragen). They are a bit too long at 23.5". Interesting that 24" blades are double the price of the blades 22" and less, as a rule. The ones I got are more of a cut-to-fit type at > 22" for a really cheap price. Go figure.
I have the Trico 47-600 at full length for the moment, and it looks like they clear everything. If there is a problem the next time it rains, I'll trim them.
Anyone else have a part number on wiper blades that fit the 9-5 for a reasonable price?
Best,
