Front/rear Wipers

[beachlife]

Decided that all the wiindscreen wipers need replacing.

 

Noticed that the front wipers are 2 different sizes. As the car was bought second hand wondered if they should be like this? What is the standard size for both wipers at the front?

 

Also had difficulty getting the rear wiper off. Can`t see how it comes off, anyone give me a pointer who to take the rear wiper off without damaging it. Also what size can you go up to on the rear? The present wiper at the rear looks like it could be increased in size to give more cleaning sweep.

Nothing unusual in two different sizes. On my C5, the drivers is 26"; the passenger 19".

Yours should be 24" and 18" (I think)

Hi,

All the wipers on the C3 are bolted on. The spindle end of the wiper arm hinges up to reveal a nut; undo this and the arm just lifts off. The rear arm also has a spacer bush under the arm to keep it off the glass, make sure you don't lose it.

I wouldn't go any bigger on the rear wiper as it puts more strain on the motor. The fronts are different sizes, the driver's side is much larger than the passenger side.

Hope this is some help.
