What wiper arm for 106 gti single wiper conversion - Saxperience

My car was already fitted with a single wiper conversion so for the moment it will stay on but I have no idea if any of the original wiper arms are used with a 20” blade is the correct combination? anyone had or still have a single wiper conversion that would know?

Basically as big as you can fit.

I'm using a 9 inch blade because race car. It's shit on the road though, would not recommend.

20 sounds about right. I think the AX uses a 22" blade.

I fitted the standard passenger (shorter) wiper arm and an 18” blade……did a few swipes of the screen and decided I didn’t like the look of it so managed to dig out and install the original 2 wiper set up and fitted those fancy Bosch aero retro fit blades on. It looks far better!!
