Front Wiper Blade Size(s)?
What are they? The car had 13" on when I bought it last summer, but the wiper appliation book in the auto parts store says to use 11"s?

Has anyone had problems with the last 2 inches of the left wiper not touching the left side (LHD) of the windshield. I just installed new Bosch micros and it's missing a 1.5 to 2 inch patch on left side.
Thanks,

Dear Andy,
I just popped down and measured mine. They are in your terms 13 inches. These were only replaced last year by my mechanic.
When on the windshield they cover right to the edge of the seal. I think you may have installed 11 inch ones, a tad too short. I cannot imagine you have different types of mounting or other strange differences,

Andy, my car has the same problem.
Adrian, the lenght is the same but the wiper blade is not touching the glass in the first 1-1/2" of the blade (on the left hand side).

Dear Jamie,
You are saying that your wiper blade is not following the curvature of the glass. This is strange. Maybe the type of blades you are using are too rigid. Mine are very flexible and follow the curvature of the glass. I admit mine only last a couple of years. They are quite soft,

Dear Andy,
All I can suggest is to call your local Porsche dealer and ask what the correct Bosch part number you can purchase in the USA is. Or you can go to the Bosch web site and find out the latest numbers.
Lastly you could always try ordering the European ones via online companies. Maybe www.dts-tuning.de or similar.
