I find the aerotwin to be the best you want the ar22u and ar21u, can't remember which side is which though

Bosch Superplus are the standard shape and Aerotwin flat types. Both of these are excellent as are Halfords own brand wipers which are actually manufactured by Bosch.

The passenger side is the shorter length.

That is correct.

It should be 22inch for the driver side and 21inch for the passenger.
Many suppliers just supply 2 x 22inch.

Never ever did I see so many different of them!
Personally both my Rovers are equipped with Bosch Aerotwin.
Very efficient, reliable & lasting long.

I've always fitted BOSCH aero-twins.

There's no reason to fit a shorter one on the passenger side so have always fitted 22in both sides with no problems.

I got the standard Bosch from Eurocarparts when one of their offers was on before xmas for £15 delivered and am happy with them. ☺

Fake flatblades are garbage, they do not, and cannot curve to the screen as proper flat blade construction does.

Been through too many to count, waste of time.

Bosch are also rubbish for some reason. Last about 2 mins in the weather up here.

Best I ever had were Champion, had two "drivers" wipers fitted so the spoiler on each, Valeo also were OK, but Champion superior in the wipe, noise, and longevity.

Looks symmetrical, and no lifting at 120+ mph.

120+MPH in the rain??

I think that says an awful lot

Michelin Stealth for me, quiet and seem to last ok with northern England rain.

Whether or not they are suitable for climates that are 170 miles north of Newcastle is of course subject to speculation
