Drivers side 21"
Passenger side 17" although 18" is listed by Bosch & fits perfectly.

I found the Bosch ones (from Halfords) rubbish on the drivers side in that they do not maintain contact over the whole length of the blade so I replaced them by Halfords ones which do maintain contact but squeak and "clack" - loud noise when they change direction at the top of the sweep.

So quiet but no visibility or noisy and good visibility???

There was aoither thread on New Age (or any Impreza) wipers the other day, and the general consensus was that PIAA wipers were the dogs dubries (just like their (expensive) headlight bulbs).

I originally tried Halfords ones on mine and they worked ok but clunked very loudly so i took them back and changed them for Bosch ones - these were ok intially but after around 3 months started to smear and clunk as well

I have now replaced them with the Bosch Aero upgrade and after 6 months through the winter they are still working perfectly and silently

got mine delivered next day from Windscreen Wiper Blades - Bosch, Valeo, Trico, Trupart, Champion Windscreen Wipers

good price and great service
