I just replaced my wipers today. The front driver is 550mm and the front passenger is 500mm.

Thanks, is that 21" or 23"?
Based off of Mark's mm measurements, I calculated 22" and 20". 550mm/25.4mm = ~21.6 and 500mm/25.4mm = ~19.6.

Sorry about that. I picked mine up at the dealer so they are straight from Japan. They only give the measurements in mm on the packaging and I couldn't find it in inches.

Thanks Mark, is that the entire arm or just the rubber blade?

It is the entire arm. You have to press in the tab on the bottom and slide it off. The fronts are very easy to change, the back windshield is a pain!

Out of curiosity, how much was the set?
 
22" driver, 20" passenger

Buy the entire blade , not the refills. It's easier to replace that way, and not expensive. Don't spend more than $5, they aren't worth it.

I tried some Lifetime warranty silicone blades, blah blah... They streaked like crazy, could not keep them from streaking. So I replaced them with some cheap Wal-Mart blades. They work perfect. Go figure.

The rear wiper I can't remember what size it is.

Thanks guys, I ordered a set of Rain-X blades. I just had my OEM blades replaced 7K miles ago and they are already scrapping and bouncing across the windshield. The Rain-X were only a few $$ more than OEM, so I'll try em.
 
Have you guys tried the Bosch Micro Edge Excel?

I have used them on other cars and they are great. I know that they are more than the $5 ones, by nearly triple but with my old car before the BMW's (DAMN BMW and their refil only) but replaced the ones that were on the car and 30K miles later they were still great.
