    A7/S7/RS7 Windshield Wipers

    What size blades are you guys using? I rode the strugglebus this week trying to pick a set of replacements.

    Went to Autozone and their books all said get 24-OE drivers and 20-OE passenger. I got Bosch Icon because they're really good winter blades. Low streaking, don't make a lot of noise, just all around a good blade.

    Went up to counter and the guy asks if I'd like to verify they're the correct size so I say sure, amuse me. Their computer says I need 26-OE/21-OE. I had measured the night before and knew I was somewhere around that size so I went with that instead. Took the blades out to the lot and quickly realized 26-OE is far too long and 21-OE was pretty close. Decided to go back and get the 24-OE/20-OE combo. After a day or so of use I know that's a tad short as there's a small area of windshield being neglected at the bottom.

    Browsed around online and it some people say the OEM driver's side wiper is a freaking 25-OE?!?!

    I'm a bit lost. Maybe it's in the owner's manual but I haven't looked, nor called the stealership. If I had to do it again I'd say 24OE/21OE is perfect if you're going aftermarket but I'd like to hear from you guys. Many sites online say 26-OE/21-OE is what you want but my stock blade was definitely a 25".

    Thanks.

    Why not just get OEM from FCP Euro? Buy once and replace free for lifetime.

    I think it because it is a European car and the wipers are metric.
    I think these are the correct sizes.
    650mm = 25.6" (So assume some sites round up and suggest 26", but is perhaps too big as you saw.)
    533 mm = 21"

    As Gwill says you could just buy from FCP and never pay again.
