Is the Rain-X Latitude Windshield Wiper Blade RX5079276 Sold as a Single Blade or a Pair
Question:
so if this is sold as qty 1 does that mean I need to order two to get a pair? aren't wiper blade usually sold as a set of two?

The Rain-X Latitude Windshield Wiper Blade # RX5079276 is indeed sold as a single blade with mounting hardware, not as a set of two blades for both sides of the car.
The reason is that many vehicles will use different length wiper blades for the driver-side and passenger-side wipers. Often the driver-side blade will be longer to allow the driver the best possible view of the road; the passenger's ability to see the road is certainly less important from a safety point of view.
Some cars do use the same blade length for both wipers and often the standard-grade blades for such cars will be sold as a pair rather than as a single.
