Default wiper blades.

can any one give me the hellfords part No. for the wiper blades, remembering that they are different sizes.
drivers one has just split, might as well chage them both as in theory they have both had the same ammout of use

Don't get Halfords!! They are crap. get BOSCH ones from Halford - 16S for the Driver side and 20 for the passenger (NOT 19 as the FAQ says!).

I bought these 2 weeks ago, very cheap and very good.

Cheers

I bought the 19" blade and can't say its a problem at all.. The stock blade is 19.5" long so the difference is hardly noticeable.

19" will clean a tiny bit less of your screen (0.25" each end) and 20" will clean a tiny bit more of your screen.. no issues with either. So take your pick

Ahhhh, I got the 19" and thought it was a bit too short, this explains it! Can you buy the 20" and manually cut it by 1/2 inch? Has anyone tried this?

Right then...

The tech faq was updated as soon as you posted.

I rang my Honda dealer and checked with them when Moff posted about this in the tech faq, and the size is actually 500mm (19.68"). If you buy a Bosch 20" that is actually 500mm as stated on the packet.

Is that alright for you Mr Moff?
