Wiper blade size

[SamsBus2012]

Quick question: what size for replacement wiper blades? Always thought it was 18" but looking on BW, they spec one 21" and one 20",do you think this is a glitch on their website or have I been running small blades without realising it?

18" is original, I think, but the longer ones fit fine and clear nicely.

Nope, its apparently a well known 'upgrade' to utilise more if the windscreen. There's thing in the wiki about it I think.

20 and 21 is spot on

Cheers guy, learned something again . So I assume 21 on drivers (off) side?

21 for driver and if you do the washer nozzle upgrade from campervanculture it,s excellent

How do you actually get the stock nozzles out?

Hi,

I've litterally just fitted new blades onto my 1983 USA spec Westie .
I originally had 18" blades on both sides, but decided to try 22" on drivers side & 20" on passenger side.
They fit nicely and work really well, clearing a much larger area of the screen.

Hope this helps.

Nice tip, wish I'd seen it earlier...fitted some 18's a few days back!
