In your case maybe. I had 1 and 2 inch sections that werent touching, smack in the middle of the drivers blade and on the edge of the passenger blade (as yours was). When at speed, the passenger one isnt so important but the driver one is annoying and dangerous.

For sure they win on noise, but dont really perform any better (in the sections that touch the windsheild) than the micro edge excel blades in a FL downpour. With the stock blades, adding the second spoiler vastly improves the perf of the passenger blade (but makes it a touch noisy).
