Title: V6 Estate
Post by: dbug on 17 April 2008, 08:39:31
Could someone plse confirm rear wiper blade is a 16".  There appears to be some confusion, some suppliers saying 16", others saying 13".
Estate is 98 V6 Elite auto, mini facelift.

I would say the longer one.

when i changed mine i noticed the new one was 3" longer then the old and it works way better then the old one. it actually cleans the window without missing bits ;D ;D

So yours had a 13" on & u changed it to a 16".
Mine had a 16" one on when purchased.

It's still not clear which is correct tho - i'll keep to 16" one tho.

I've just measured mine. It's 16 inches.

I've always get a genuine replacement wiper from VX as they seem to clear better without missing bits on the curvature of the glass. Not sure on size as I haven't measured but at a guess I'd say they were 16".

Seems the concensus so far is for 16"" blade.
Thanx all

Hi Bob, do you know if wipers are available on Tradeclub? I will need a full set for my estate sometime soon...VERY soon :(

Different car I know, but I just bought a pair for the front of my lads Astra after he'd had the new screen put in (some scrote kicked the old one through. >:( )

As already said, yes it is. The rear wiper for my estate was about 6 quid (without TC).

I previously bought a wiper for the rear window from a car accessory shop (Bosch I think) but due to the curvature of the glass it missed large chunks of the screen. :-?
