Rear wiper blade - lengh and fitment??

I need to get a new rear wiper blade as the old one has been torn halfway down for about 2 months now.

What lengh is it?

Does it require a special fitment?

Will Halfrauds have a fitment guide thing?

Ta,

Matt

I brought a 12 inch piece of the blade itself, cost about £3, then cut it the same length as the old one, slapped it on.

5 mins work, mucho cash saved :D

Another day...another problem...

Same here, just buy universal refills and cut to length. Back wiper itself is a Fiat only part as I recall.

Exactly what I did with my Sei. You have to replace the whole arm nn that and i refuse to pay £16 from a dealer for a wiper!

Ive got replacement rear wiper assys (not the arm, just the blade) from Halfrauds before...It really isnt the greatest in the world..but that may be the Cinq's wiper assy.
