Arrow Bug Eye Wagon wiper sizes?

Hi guys, another quick Q...

OK, sounds daft, but it think the wipers on my scoob are the wrong size as they dont seem to clear the front and rear screens very well (wipers look in ok condition)

Fitted are:

22inch drivers
17inch passengers

17inch rear


Is this right/standard? Not got the owners manual so cant double check and the internet is throwing up conflicting answers...

The length is un important providing they fit on the screen. If 17's fit on the n/s without hitting the pillar then cool. If 21's fit on the o/s without going off the top of the screen and onto the roof then there the best ones to use. Theres not an issue with going an inch shorter either. Just means you have less wipping area. Measure what you have on there and stick with the same size is the best option

Just to add. I was never happy with the way mine cleared the screen. I did a conversion to the new floppy type wipers and its so much better

Hello all.

My rear wiper needs changing, I was thinking of going for a 206 rear wiper as they look pretty cool.

Is it a difficult task to remove the rear wiper arm?
