What wiper blade's refills I need?

Hi,

I want to know what is the width of wiper balde refills will fit CLS? I know that we need 24inch for driver's side and 19 inch for passanger side. However, 24inch comes in three different width 7mm, 9mm, 12mmm( NArrow, standard, wide ).
Well, to make a story short I tried 9mm, it was to wide, then I tried 7mm, and it seems to thin...
Also, I measured the width for driver's wiper rubber, and passanger, they seem to be different.

I would like to know what width you use to refil your wiper blades? is it 7mm or 9mm?
Or I have to buy new wiper blades??? I have no clue what is the recomended width for stock wiper blades, it seems that its between 7mm and 9mm, something they dont sell in stores...

The ones I used just said "NARROW" refills.

I'm not sure what the mm width size was.

Cool, did they fit fine? i dont know, "narrow" seems to narrow, but maybe I can tight it with something...

Yup, they fit fine and have been on the car for the last 3-months.

My 91 Legend Coupe used the same "narrow" type along with the wife's Integra.

It must be a Honda thing.

Did you get a BOSCH, or brand does not matter?

They were just basic refills. Nothing special.
ANCO I think.

the ANCO ones are supposed to be top of the line. i paid like $25 for new blades and stuff. the guy told me that the main piece of those is made of metal not out of plastic. so far i like them a lot. much better than the stock ones. PS: they dont have blades specific for the CL, but the TL ones work interchangeably

I hope for the refill, it sucks to pay 25 bucks every time wiper's rubber goes bad... refills are only 8 bucks, and u get get 2+2 units.

I didn’t pay 25-bucks either.
I think it was around 10-11 bucks for a 2-pack of rubber refills.
Since there are two different sizes, I have a spare pair on the shelf right now.
