The front passenger is 19", the driver is 21", and the rear is 13"

I went and got a 19, and 22 for the front (they didn't have 21), in the tripledge (kmart going out of business). They work great. They didn't have a 13" for the rear, but I modified a 19 to work (just have a few little bugs to work out)

I think it´s dumb to make different size blades for the front.... you have to go buy TWO sets to replace ONE set... then you end up losing the leftover set, and have to buy more.

uh, you mean those blade refills right? because the whole wiper replacement has always been sold individually...

but I like that the wipers get more coverage of the winshield that way... not huge when it comes to rain... but a big difference with snow...

Yep... I was talking about the refils. I used to purchase different sizes (for another car), and by the time they were worn out, I had already lost the other pair... and had to go buy new ones again.

Any chance anyone have installed these Bosch wipers? If yes, what's the right part number?
