Today i noticed that my wipers do not work to well anymore. I know i cleaned them a few days ago because i washed the car not to long ago. So i went to Walmart and wanted to try out the Michelin wipers. So i look at the catalog, and it says that the drivers wiper is 20mm and the passenger is 19mm. Then i looked at Anco brand, which seems to be good, and they say that i need both sides 19mm. So i got Anco instead because 20mm seems to long. Has anyone ever ran into this before? Is this a typo or the info is correct?

just take a tape measure and measure the width of the blade. Im pretty sure they are 18" on both sides

18"?? lol...

anyways i would get the 20mm ones, pays to have the longer ones than shorter ones, plus if you have a short one the wiper might scratch the window (even though i cant see how it will with only 1mm difference) but yeah..... also you get 1mm more of your window wiped :P

Just pull them off and see if one is longer.

actually 19" is too small.
i am running 21" on driver side and 19" on passenger side.
driver side has a lot more open room to see and passenger side is just right.
next time i am going with 22 and 19 inches ones.

PS. Anco wipers suck ass. you will be replacing them in next 2-3 month.

Thanks for the input. I guess next replacement is Michelin ones.
