Actually, I have 18" wipers on my car.  I have put the 20" on before,
but they seem to hang over the right side a little, not quite touching
the windshield when down, but seem to wipe ok.  I seem to remember the
Bosch chart showing the Coupe to have 18" blades, but don't quote me on
that.  I buy my blades at Auto Zone.

So, to summarize, I think that if you are happy with the 20" stick with
them.  21" seems a little too long, unless of course the windshield area
from 1984 to 1987 has changed.
