Wiper Blade sizes

I found out today that the Countryman has different sizes compared to the other Coopers. The book at the store only had Mini Cooper and to choose 18" & 19" for driver/passenger.

I found the CM's need 19" & 20" and only L&R type wiper arms. I now have to take the RainX Fusion blades back and get a the right size Latitude blades.

Yes, we've doubled our rain for the season in the last week. We're also due for more, so I'm not washing Mr. Mickey yet. :-)

Do you have no charge scheduled maintenance in the US? If so, the blades should be covered.

I know the wipres are covered under warrenty but it's only been 5000 miles and they are already starting to chatter and miss clearing the window. They leave streaks. So, I like RainX and want to use those. I will put the OEM blades on during the summer and RainX in winter and get Mini to replace the OEM's when they look or are really bad.

Since the manual doesn't state wiper length it's best to just
measure them and go and get the arms. I'm partial to the mid-
priced Bosch wiper arms.
***Also, I keep a little spiral notebook in the glove box and
write down sizes, quantities, etc. of everything I buy that way
when I need more it's in the book.
