- Confirm the driver (26 in) and passenger (16 in) lengths against the handbook or measure each arm.
- Side-pin / push button attachment - multi-adapter Bosch/Valeo/Michelin sets cover it.
- Rear blade (11 in) sold separately - easy to forget.
- Winter boot-encased blade for December/January frosts if you park outside.
Frequently asked questions
Do premium blades really last longer than budget ones?
Yes, roughly 12 to 18 months of UK use vs 6 to 9 for a supermarket blade. The difference in unit cost is small; the difference in swept area is significant.
Can I fit longer aftermarket blades for more coverage?
No. Longer blades foul the A-pillar or overhang the swept arc. Match the OEM lengths (26/16) exactly.
