Default i installed 26/21. the fit is good, there are problems however..

passenger side does not make full contact at resting position near the A-pillar. when using them, they dont clean fully until about 10 oclock position (rest=9, full=12).

at higher speeds, driver side seems to miss spots in the middle on its way back. i am not sure if it is due to being oversized or just the nature of these wipers.

i've noticed on another car make that even using oem size, these wipers do not make full contact on the passenger side near the edge (a-pillar).

if i'd do it again, i'd get 24/20.

Default Nice write-up, with the euro kit the wiper arms disappear literally

sorry not the best picture, but you can't see the wipers when sitting inside the car.

on my sig photo you can see how they look from outside. I like this kit, I had it for 2yrs now.

Default you must be very short if that's your view while seated ;-)

I do know what you mean though - here are before/after on my Golf...

I meant to take the same shot on the S4, but haven't yet - I will

Default good eyes, looks like I was on the back seat, definitely not my usual angle ;-P

I need a better pic with a clean background.
