Rear wiper blade(aero)What size?
« on: 30 January 2013, 19:32 »
Ok so im looking at buying a new rear wiper blade aero style which are sized 13inch or 14inch.My standard blade is about 13and a half inch.So my question is which size should I get?I think the 14 will fit but don't want to look stupid  if that's too big or if the 13 will look too small.Thanks folks.Lee

I have a 14" at the back, at first it touched the back "spoiler" slightly, adjusted it a little and it's perfect.

An Aero ripoff and rather bad lighting, but you get the idea.

True, it will be done one day when I find the effort to fiddle..  :rolleyes:



Turns out it annoyed me so I got around to changing the position.



A better idea of the 14" blade and easier to see proportions.
