However, they are 16 & 20 as standard. Others have fitted longer ones. A search will enlighten you.

Thanks.

I asked as a previuos discussion on this topic made two things clear:

a) That the standard sizes (as per FAQ) are not necessarily the ideal;
b) That the wiperblades.co.uk site lists the blades the wrong way round (driver one is shorter) and therefore there is a question on whether they know what they're talking about in general.

Also,

I have read the FAQ on many occasions. While its certainly a great resource, I don't think its reasonable to expect someone to refer to it every time there is question on the topic being discussed.

Every time I do a search I spend half my morning trwaling through various responses and, on most occasions, it ends up leaving me more confused than before!

These are the best fit Bosch. 18" drivers side. 20" Passenger. Had them on my car for 18 months, no problems.

I fitted these to my car the other day and they are superb! I've put the larger on on the drivers side as for some reason the smaller one does tend to sit slightly raised at the end when fully down - normally catches the screen after a few inches though!

20" on both sides works fine as well I've tried. Retro fit flat blades do have big plastic bits for the hook, that sadly is unavoidable but as has already been said, my flat blades do seem quieter and better at clearing both bugs and rain from my car
