@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=24467 @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=9964 They are 13". Just had to buy some.
Be aware there are two versions. The original wiper arms were 7.5mm width. Replacements are 9mm. The attachment piece on the blade has to match the arm. Pelican has both. Local auto parts stores are not likely to have the 7.5mm width.

I went through this a while ago. Never found any local ones to buy. Had two counter guys thoroughly confused.
