And as noted earlier and now confirmed by measuring, my OEM ones (in a drawer beside me) are also both 22".
 (The ones actually on the car now are 24" and 23")

Bringing this subject up again, I have finally replaced the wiper blades. Getting the right ones is somewhat difficult with different suppliers coming up with different lengths.
So I bought these last week. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3008834929...84.m1497.l2649 Both blades 22", curved passenger side and drivers side has a spoiler, and less than £9 for the pair. Not sure on the longevity, but they were cheap. You only realise how bad the old ones are when you have a go with the new ones.

I can also confirm rubbers 895 955 429 A are of great SWF quality and is very easy to change. No tools are required.
