Wiper blade length

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!

19 inch. Which strangely is 475 or 480mm depending on manufacturer.

No problem. I only know because I put new ones on mine yesterday. :-)

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.

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

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!!
