Morning all - just a quickie: I need to order replacement wiper blades, and I've decided to give Aero wipers a go, but I can't remember for the life of me how long the blades need to be, and I have no access to my car at the moment. Can someone refresh my memory? Twin wipers, by the way.
Thanks!

Re: Wiper blade length
I am looking at Bosch wiper blades at the moment and for my car on Carparts4less they only give us 1 19 inch blade for the left and right is 18 inch. Does this matter?

Best to measure the ones fitted to your car then you know that size fits.

Re: Wiper blade length
Think mine are either 18 and 21 or 18 and 20 inch. Can't remember without measuring. I stuck the same size as previously fitted on the ns then trial and error found the biggest that would fit for the os

Re: Wiper blade length
if we're talking about a Mk 2 the wiper blades are the same size on both sides none of this modern lopsided stuff?
19" iirc but i always used to use an oversized 20" blade until i started using flat blades. the 20" didn't contact the whole of the screen?

If I order two of these then:

The thing that got me, is that it says they are universal yet the fitting is for the left, the SP18 they advertise says it fits on the right. If I can order two of these then perfect as I have two 19 inches on at the moment!!
