Default Wiper blades that fit & work?

Looking for new wiper blades for my '95 C2. I love Bosch icon blades, but autozone and Bosch say they don't fit. I bought a set of wiper blades from az last year but the 15" wiper seems too long and they don't work all that great. Thanks.

+1 I believe Bosch makes the OEM blades, but the OEM blades have extra points of articulation that make then conform a little better to the windshield.

I have used these one for about a year and they work perfectly. I have seen them as high as $75.00

Can you guys get PIAA blades in the states? They are fantastic. Not only do they fit but they get better the more you use them as a silicon layer forms on the screen.
I think from memory the sizes you need are 18" and 15" flat style, although I can check if you are interested.

Olly, I've been looking at these but also saw some discussion on 911.uk on fitment and which to get. Which dimension are you using?

Just checked and have 18" and 15" on the 993. Get the super silicon straight wipers as they fit the best.
