Re: Rear wiper size

Sorry to say this, but between the four Unos I have owned the width seems to vary. Your best bet is to unclip the blade carrier from the arm and take it into the shop with you. You might decide to replace the blade and carrier.

You can also just chance it with a generic blade refill. With my two current Unos, the blade backing has two small notches cut (one on each side) at one end. The plastic carrier covers the ends of the blade. I was patient and careful with the craft knife, but it was pretty easy to get the generic refill to fit.

Ah, just realised (when I re-read your post) that perhaps you were simply asking what length the blade and carrier should be? The length of the blade (on my Mk1 Uno 60) is 311mm (12.25 inches). I think Mk2 Unos have a shorter blade (and the carrier has a special plastic shell).

Welcome to the FIAT Forum, by the way! :-)

Re: Rear wiper size

Thanks people, nice to find a place where i can get answers for these questions,
Bought 13" which was as i thought smaller than my current one, and btw they didn't have the rear wiper size in the little magic book only the front one which is why I asked this :-)
