Wipers length?

[ivo098]

I have Golf facelift arms with aero wipers, but the Golf passenger one is too long. What is the correct passenger wiper length for our cars?

You have to buy the golf ones and then cut the passenger one down, cut about 1" off it then take off the end cap re fit it to the cut end to stop it falling apart

Nobody found a direct replacement that is the right length.

I use the 18" instead of the 19" on the passenger side and it works a treat (Bosch Aero retrofit). I bought mine as a set for the Seat Cordoba on eBay because it was 21"/18" but that's the standard size for many cars I believe.

as far as I'm aware I have the standard arms on my LCR

No offence but how is that relevant if he's using the aero wipers of a golf/bora? They are totally different to standard arms.


The aero blades can be bought to fit the regular "hook" arms.

I'm in process of getting flat blades, what's the length everyone's goes for passenger side? Noticed they don't sit flush?

 

[sockpuppet]

I always get 18" for passenger and 21" for drivers side. ECP has a sale on wiperblades, I just got a set of vistapro for £8.76 delivered. Had cheaper better looking off ebay, but thought I'd give these a try.
