I buy the entire shootin' match -- Bosch MicroBlades (micro-something or 
another).  I'm quite pleased with them.  I don't recall the length.  I get 
them a tad longer so I get a really good sweep but the tip on the driver's 
side does tend to wipe onto the upper left window seal.  As long as I can 
see as much as possible I don't care if the seal gets wiped.

one word.


cut it.


ok, so that's two, sue me.  I buy refill blades and cut them to length.
Then with the cut off part, you can have wipers for your T-3 go-cart.
