FTO wiper sizes

Postby Muad_dib77 » Tue Nov 14, 2006 11:54 am

Ok please don't laugh - but I don't have my measuring tape at hand..

Does anybody remember what size wipers the FTO uses on the wind screen.. Is it 19"?

They'll work fine but you do need a slightly longer blade on the pass side, to get rid of excess water at the top of the swipe.
