I would say the longer one.

when i changed mine i noticed the new one was 3" longer then the old and it works way better then the old one. it actually cleans the window without missing bits ;D ;D

So yours had a 13" on & u changed it to a 16".
Mine had a 16" one on when purchased.

It's still not clear which is correct tho - i'll keep to 16" one tho.

I've always get a genuine replacement wiper from VX as they seem to clear better without missing bits on the curvature of the glass. Not sure on size as I haven't measured but at a guess I'd say they were 16".

Seems the concensus so far is for 16"" blade.
Thanx all

As already said, yes it is. The rear wiper for my estate was about 6 quid (without TC).

I previously bought a wiper for the rear window from a car accessory shop (Bosch I think) but due to the curvature of the glass it missed large chunks of the screen. :-?
