They all are. Get longer ones but IMHO check the fitment of the wiper arm to the spindle if you do.
I had loads of bother with mine as the mushy aloy of the arm had sucumbed to the harder metal of the spindle at some point. Taking them off, cleaning the grooves and remounting with new nuts gave much improvement.
I'm hoping the "good" wiper blades will still be available when I go to pickering.

it say on Brickyard ........
"Bored of poor wipers, dead easy this, simply replace your tiny 16" standard wiper blades with a 21" one on the drivers side, and a 20" on the passenger side and revel in the glory of a clear windscreen!"
Give it a whirl....

I usually have a whacking great pile of them at shows for a tenner a pair.
I also post them out too, gen VW ones, made by Bosch.
Always on the shelf at the garage.
I fit them for all customer that get wiper blades, never use the standard 16" ones, whats the point? they are actually tiny!
never had a problem, I heard some numpty once on about how the extra length of the blade put extra load on the motor and blew his motor...
Er....
