The arm is special so buy replacement rubbers and save a fortune,in stock at decent factors, cut to size.

[charlie]

right, but how big is the left side and how big is the right side supposed to be?

Stock is between 22 and 24"

I have 22" Valeo wipers on the 530, they work great as an over the counter replacement.

I put 24" refills on the 525's stock wipers and it covers the most area but I get some blade chatter when travelling at slow vehicle speeds.

I've just got a set of bosch replacements from halfords, 24" drivers standard and 22" passenger - not that expensive either!

Why does the passenger get short changed? Is that spec? Oh, and by the way I wonder if Charlie realises we are talking RHD

[charlie]

yeah, I'm talking LHD

Are the wipers reversed between LHD and RHD?
charlie, do you own a tape measure?
