Wiper blades

Two of blades on my 2022 Plus Four always seemed to hit the windscreen frame making a clonk at the end of the travel. The drivers side at the top rail & the passenger side at the bottom rail.
This worried me & I did think it might be partly the source of wiper arms loosening, as my passenger side had it heavy rain in Belgium last year.
The 3 blades all measured approx 205 to 208mm.
I did some research & saw that there were 3 blade lengths and then had an online discussion with Peter Gilbert who advertises in Miscellany. He told me 2022 CXs should have 200 mm blades, I haven't owned mine from new so whether MMC or someonelse got it wrong I don't know.
Anyway with a 200 mm on the passenger side & the drivers side they work perfectly now without an audible clonk. The drivers side rubber just kisses the side rail at the top and the passenger side doesn't hit anything.
I kept the middle 208 mm one just because it works & so have a spare 200mm & two spare 208mm for emergencies.
My thanks to Peter for his help. I am as satisfied customer.
If you own a 2022 CX or earlier it might be worth checking the blades.
