Ive got 2 different length blades on my car, the arm is the same length and shape but 1 blade is 26cm and the other is 29cm.... The longer blade fouls at the top of the windscreen on the rubber if the wipers are used.

Even though i will never ever use my wipers, it would be good to actually have them be able to work if need be... I had them powder coated silver to.. Then put em on n realised it would foul, mind u this was 3 1/2 yrs ago...!!

My wipers r single speed and park on the drivers side.

How long r urs? Any 1 wanna give away/sell a 26cm blade or arm/blade assy?

Its only just slightly off the glass and onto the rubber, once its onto the rubber it fouls and stays there. If i can get a hold of another 26cm wiper blade, it will be spot on!!!

Dunno where this long blade came from, ive actually got another 1 here spare, i thought it may of been off my parts car, a 74 clubman, it had 2 speed wipers n parked on the passenger side...?

I had this problem, turns out one of my wiper arms was a 12" (inches or cm can't remember now, off a clubby?) and the other 10". I had to grab a second hand 10" arm to replace the 12" and now it's all good.
