Rear wiper blade

What size is the rear wiper blade please?

My 07 plate HSE currently has a 13" fitted, and so does my father's 08 plate SE.

Yesterday I ordered a set from wiperblades.co.uk and they said 14". Halfords website also says 14".

Can't find recommended size in handbook but would that extra drag of the 14" damage the motor??

Any tips gratefully received!

it was a gamble I admit, but I had had the wipers before on my pickup and tractors so knew the quality. also the postage tube makes an excellent matchbox car slide for the kids Laughing At work

There's another thread on this and it links to an eBay shop selling an "upgrade" to a smooth flowing arm and blade. I bought one (kept the old at first, one at just in case) and it looks good and works well.

The blade is lsightly short at the pivot end but not a bit of the rear window that I look out of!Surprised) Gone... 2013 XS TD4 Manual Firenze Red
