Need to get a new set as one has snapped off. They are currently aero blades but when I bought them both, the drivers side rubbed on the piller. The size I have on at the moment is 19/26.
Have done a number of searches on here, but can't get a definitive answer, can anyone advise?
Cars a 98 reg
Cheers

if the car is right hand drive then both wipers should be the same size 55cms.
they should only be different sizes if the car is a left hand drive.
common mistake by part factors as they dont read the books properly

yes.
they should all be 55cms .
only lefthand drive use 19/26.
check out peugeot parts.
all uk use 55cm blades.
see this problem all the time when i fail 206 on insufficient swept area in front of driver.

i am sick at repeating my answer.
left hand drive 206 use 26/16 and i have to say you are wrong.
if in doubt check the peugeot manual.

Simple answer is if one is too long, just buy one an inch or two shorter. Not really rocket science.
It's well known on here that if your car is listed as needing 22" then you buy 21" aeroflats to solve the overhang problem. The same theory can be applied to the early 206s
