Alright Guys
I am wondering if anyone can help me on here.. I own a Peugeot 206 2001 (Y Reg) I believe for the two front wiper blades they need to be 21" to work and fit correctly without hitting the trims? Is this correct?
At the moment I have got one 22" which keeps hitting the trim and another one which is 18" which I think is incorrect.
Can I buy any 21" blades?

I have 21" aeros fitted and not got a problem.
Not sure if the standard size is 22"
The early ones were 26"/19" but pretty sure the change was sometime in early 2000

Do none of you find the aero blades poor on the 206? I have been using the Bosch aero blades since last November, it is always my first modification on a car as I love aero blades for the look, however I have found the function of them very poor on the 206?
There just doesn't seem to be enough pressure along the entire blade and only the centre touches and clears correctly for me, due to the curvature of the screen.
I'm getting ready to replace my wipes and I'm looking at other options this winter for safety, however I much prefer the look of the aeros

Haven't had a problem with mine. Only place they don't touch the screen is next to the A post, but don't find it a massive issue.

After a bit of extra research it would seem my problem may be related to having 22" aero wipes, seems Peugeot recommend 22 for traditional blades, however 21 seem to be recommended in here for aeros, I'm going to order a pair of 21 Bosch aerotwins and see if they are better than the 22s

I use 22" normal blades, they work perfectly well and the only place they dont touch is about 5mm nearest the A pillar on the drivers side....never really understood the hype of aero blades to be honest. Had a set and didnt think they were anything special so just used the traditional type again after that.
