Have I got a hybrid or should the wiper arms be different lengths. :huh: Blades are the same at 16" but my passenger gets a higher swept area than me. :(

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationDrivers side blade should be 18"
I bought a set similar to these. Easy to fit and work well.
At these sort of prices it's best just to buy a complete set rather than individual blades.

Despite my posts in tadpoles link the arms were correct. From inside the car they look as if they are going off the screen but it's only the dark tint around the edge of the screen. If you try to swap the arms over they touch each other.

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

Yes. :blush:

Thanks for the link. ;)

It seems I have the correct set up. Driver arm length approx 16"; passenger arm length approx 18" and blade length both approx 16". The wipers are working fine so I won't need any blades but the lack of symmetry is irritating. :(

I think people are confused are you after the arm length from the linkage to the end of the arm or the wiper blade length

Aha, yes I see. Bit of both really. Sorry for confusing peeps.
I was just wanting to know if someone had put on the wrong wiper kit somewhere in the 12 months since the last owner flogged the car and my getting it.
I could see that the wiper arc on the driver's side was not reaching the top of the screen; annoying to me being over 6 feet and with the seat jacked up for my scrawny lanky legs because I look through the top part of the screen.

It looked weird having two different length wiper arms. At first I thought the blades were different lengths.

Hope you are not even more confused now. Sorry. :blush:
