Was going to buy some online today, but two sizes (21" and 22") are given for the 75 - which is right?

22" I seem to remember

22 for drivers and 21 for passenger is what I've got

Just put on two 22's on mine, a facelifted ZT

Supposed to be 22" driver and 21" passenger

22" on both sides is fine though, as long as it doesn't interfere with the windscreen trim or other wiper when operated

I have 22 on the passenger side and 20 on the driver side. It doesn't affect vision and I don't get the annoying tapping on the windscreen finisher anymore.
Works for me anyway.

That's what I would have thought. All my recent cars have been different sizes, however it was 22's that came off this. No fouling at all. That's why I mentioned it being facelifted model,just in case it mattered. Just got the car,so don't know much of them except from here. Excellent site by the way.:D

Many thanks for the input chaps. If anyone's interested, there's a sale on at eurocarparts today - you can pick up wipers for the 75 (not the flat-blade ones, admittedly) for £1.50 or thereabouts ...

Welcome along, you'll soon be as mad as the rest of us!!!!
Seriously now, I put a 20 inch blade on the drivers side because of it tapping the pillar finisher, tried adjusting but didn't like the way the blade parked. As said it worked for me, I think it's supposed 22" and 21" in the real world.

I have 22" fitted to both sides, (MkI) and they work perfectly fine. But officially it is 22" Driver & 21" Passenger.

I think after a couple of years the motor gets a bit worn, causing the blade to travel more than original, hence the knocking on the trim
