wiper blades

schumacher62 · Aug 10, 2011

i cant find any oem information about the size of wiper blades or arms for my 2003 jetta wagon. i realize there are two sizes for the front, and one for the rear glass.

i am sure the sizes which are on the car now are not correct, or i would simply replace them by measuring.

where can i find the original three sizes for my wagon?

thanks in advance.

21" and 19" for the front. I think the back is 13".

thank you both, i appreciate it.

13" for the back? there is a 14" on there now, 13 seems small.

thanks!

Any auto parts store where you can buy wiper blades will have a reference guide for the year, make and model of your car.
For Mark IV series Jetta you'll need 19", 21" AND 15" rear wiper blade.

I like to buy just the new blades w/o the replacement arm(s). The OEM ones are made better and you can just insert the new rubber blades. Not to mention they're less money that way. No reason to buy what you don't need.

As for wiper brands...
Bosch Icon 419B
Bosch Icon 421A
I seriously doubt that you'll find a better wiper blade for your A-4

I call Bosch Icons "ninja wipers" - totally silent and work flawlessly.

x3. Take it from someone who's tried a number of other brands and got rid of them well before they were dead. The price of Icons is ... painful ... but they just plain work.

Icons are really very good -- perhaps the best out there. However, NEVER run them over a frosted windshield or you'll have little lines across the windsheild for ever more where the ice nicked the edges...

I know this is an old thread but today i was looking at michelin wipers and they identified the mk4 wagon having a 15" rear wiper.

Can anybody confirm what the size shouls actually be?

whyfish mentions above that 15 inch is the size for the back. wouldn't over think it, you can usually go a bit bigger than stock as long as you don't hit anything
