Help comparing US/Aust wiper size.
I am looking at buying a set of wipers from Autohaus but wish to be sure they are the same as I have on my car. The part numbers are different ie 2048200145 for Autohaus & A2048200245 on my wiper.
My wipers are 24" ( 608mm) long.
The detachment to the arm is simply lifting the wiper from the windscreen , rotating it fully then lifting it from the pin.
Photos below of my wipers.
I hope someone can help.

They are exactly the same as mine, including the length of 24".
BTW, Amazon carries them as well for reference.

Thanks to photos pm'ed by louiet3 , I can confirm that the US blades do not fit Australian cars.
There is a subtle difference. The locator pin enters yours on the left hand side of the centre “binnacle” whereas mine is on the right hand side. Then it hit me that the wipers in the US would be different because ofthe right hand side drive , duh !. Looking to rear of the car , I remove my wiper by turning it clockwise.
Thanks Doanster for replying.
