Rear wiper blade

[G_mac86]

Just looking to replace my rear wiper blade on the estate.
The blade sits proud at the end of the blade so was looking to get a slightly smaller one, IE 11inch/280mm
Has anyone changed it for a slightly smaller blade of another car, IE golf etc.
Thanks

The correct length for the ST is 335mm/13", the Valeo VR265 is the exact OEM fit.

Thanks I know the standard length was 13", was just wondering if somebody has fitted a smaller blade instead.
Not sure if my blade is damaged as it doesn't sit flush with the rear window. The area that it sweeps is therefore smaller and it doesn't affect the rear visibility so was wondering if I could order a smaller blade as mine is juddering when wiping

It sounds to me that you just need a new blade, Bosch or Valeo are good, also give the rear screen a thorough clean.

I never bothered just didn’t use it, traded in at 2 years old still juddering

Thanks all, new blade ordered.
The car is new to me 2 weeks ago, did wonder whatever the garage used to clean the car affected the wiper to make it jumpy. Thorough clean getting done this weekend ?
