I have a 2016 Tiguan (R-Line) and I want to replace the wiper blades but I'm seeing a variety of sizes for the front wiper, from 21" to 26". Which length is optimal? I live in Colorado, so I don't deal with rain much, but my town gets 120" of snow per year. I haven't had to change the blades in years, as opposed to the twice a year swap out I was used to on the east coast.

Is there any difference in quality between Bosch and the cheaper models from Trico, AC Delco, etc?

Thanks!

24" Driver 21" Passenger is the OEM size.

Best to stick with that, upsizing gets you a bigger sweep, but with less pressure and won't be as clean.

I've tried a bunch of different brands over the years but have settled on Rain-X. Good availability, price, and performance.

Thanks. I'll head over to Walmart to see if they actually have the wipers in stock.

It'd be nice if the online inventory matched what the store has in stock. I can dream.
