2002 V70 Rear Wiper Blade Size

Anyone know the correct size (inches) of the V70 Rear wiper blade? Any specific suggestions for which wiper blades?

It is a 16" blade in the rear of my 2004 V70. I got one from an AutoZone last time, but I seem to remember that it was not a straight in replacement. IIRC I got one of a certain type, removed the blade and put it in the existing blade holder. This may be best gotten from a Volvo dealer. Installation is a somewhat tricky; there is a risk of breaking the arm and having to get a whole new arm.

Best to measure. 2002 was a transition year - some cars have the same blade as the 2003-2007s and some have the same blade as the 2001s. Given they don't really get that much use, I'd go with the OEM to get the right connector. I've seen different sources quote 15,16 and 17s...
