Rear wiper blade size?
Anybody know what size it should be, I seem to recall 14", but not sure.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Re: Rear wiper blade size?
The wiper blade should be appropriately sized to clear as large an area of the glass as possible without causing a nuisance.
I hope this helps.
(can you tell I write project specifications)

Re: Rear wiper blade size?
If I still had one I could just go out and measure it... 
Service Pox says 350mm? I thought it was shorter than that

Re: Rear wiper blade size?
Thank you for the replies.
I removed the original and marched into the accessory shop, where a friendly and surprisingly knowledgeable assistant promptly produced 3 possible replacements, then unpacked each to check for the best match in terms of mounting arrangement. I was so impressed I found myself adding 2 of their overpriced W5W number plate lamps to my purchase and shelling out something fractionally north of a tenner for the privilege.
I then returned to Doggy Manor and fitted the wiper blade and managed to change both number plate lamps without damaging the lamp holders or anything else, (something I hitherto believed was impossible).
I never thought of buying a lottery ticket too.
