Are standard fiat the ones that fit an A class?

Measure the ones that you already have and do a search for that length online. You might also consider just buying the rubber and replacing those - not a difficult job. The A class screen will almost certainly have bigger blades

Check the fitting most A Class use the universal hook.

They have in the past as Lenny says the hook makes them universal. If you are LHD then they are a special available from Bosch.

No difference between blades for LHD or RHD.

There is with aero blades - unless you get the Bosch ones

Not on my van, I'm LHD I just fitted standard aero blades.
How can there be any difference.?

Their 'flipenfloppenmuckenspreden' qualities are different I believe!

 

[Rob Turner]

How can the blades be different. They sweep both ways. I’ve just put normal aeros on my LHD and they work absolutely fine.
I would think these special type of blade are more expensive

A good marketing ploy from some manufacturers perhaps.

A lot of them are fitted a single way. I bought a pair for the last van which had the aero bit the wrong way around due to the van having LHD wiper pattern and had to return them. I then got Bosch ones as they are the same both sides. This van I bought the rubber and simply replaced that. A lot cheaper

 

[Lenny HB]

A bit like Euro lites beam converters I used to sell LHD ones for 3 times the price of RHD the only difference was the instruction for where to fit them, my buy price was the same.

I just fitted some Lucas blades and they are rubbish, they miss on the middle section, whereas the previous cheap Chinese rubbish were fine until they split after a few Highland winters.

Standard blades or aero blades, if standard you just need to adjust them.

The ones I bought could not be fitted the other way round. I tried. The pin for swivelling was in the wrong position. Design may have changed then, or Eurocarparts simply provide crap.

I always remove mine when at home. Keeping them away from UV and the weather makes them last longer.

We put tennis balls under our wiper arms to stop them compressing and sticking, weather isn't an issue as we store ours indoors.

Half a wine bottle cork works. And, if you forget to remove it, hopefully won't cause any damage.
