I use 16" which covers a good area, but I think you can fit 18"

In the wiper section at Canadian Tire there is a book with every make of car in it, look up RX-7 and it'll say.

Go to another auto parts store,lol.

Stock is 17 inch. don't substitute because most of the other sizes do not have the proper attachments on the wiperblade for our cars.

For future reference you can look up your own parts on any auto parts website.:-)

17" all around (if you have a rear wiper).

18"

Never completely trust anything you read to be 100% accurate, whether it's printed, on-line, or in a parts database.

The 18 inch Bosch fit perfectly. The location of the mounting hole makes a difference. Bosch wiper blades have two holes; use the hole closest to the cowl.

Other brands 18" may or may not fit. Test them yourself before buying.
