Wiper blade size

Just bought some wiper blades from costco. The guide said 21" & 21" for the front two blades. Is this right? I thought 1 blade would be bigger than the other?

Cheers

Yeah, two 21" is spot on. Some people have other sizes, but there is no need. I've got 2x21" on mine.

Thx David
and I assume the longer goes to the driver side. is it curved ? Is it needed ?
I have a year 2000 model.
thx
Longer on driver's side.
Shorter on passenger side. A lot of OEM passenger side old style blades were curved, don't know if it makes a difference on the TT.

The links I put in are for RHD. LHD may be different p/n.

Hi; I hope reopening an old thread is ok..

I have 2 x 21” on my TT Quattro.
But I’ve noticed the drivers wiper over laps the top corner of the windscreen and wipes around 2” of the metal/ roof of the car. Is this the case on all mk1’s?
ordinarily I wouldn’t have noticed.. but the previous owner has had the car wrapped (quite well) and over time the wiper seems to be damaging the vinyl wrap in that area.
So in short I’m wondering if the previous owner has put too long a wiper on drivers side (causing the over lap) or if the wiper arm could have been removed / refitted in an incorrect position. Or if the overlap is present in all Mk1’s.
Thanks in advance

2x21" is correct for the later (2003 onwards) side-pin arms.
But, no, it shouldn't be going over the roof.

Possible that the wiper arms have been swapped left to right. They are different. LHD & RHD arms are obviously different too.
