Yeah, I understand that. But most french cars I see, the wipers go the correct way.

Get the tape measure out
Will either be 19/26 or 22/22 |
i thought everyones saying 22/22 is too big and over hangs the windscreen and should be 21/21 ? |
can someone confirm this =(
i believe mine are the original wipers, bosch is it?
the wiper frame itself is 21" but the blade refills fitted for me measure out as 22".
for these awesome aero twins. 22 or 21?

i just purchased a set of bosch areo twins both 22" and they fit on the windscreen fine, due to the high curvature of the screen in the very corner of the divers side the blade doesnt wipe effectivly, but this is only in the very corner (the extra 1inch basically), the wipers do not hang over the windscreen at all, 22 is the correct size. but the only advantage you get to having 22" is that the passenger size has 1" more of wipeage lol. you get the same wipeage on a 21 and a 22 inch blade on the drivers side because the blade lifts off (due to curvature) at the very edge.

to be fair like I said both the 21 and 22 inch blades give you exactly the same wipeage on the drivers side, and the 22 inch blade gives you 1inch more on the passenger side, it basically makes no difference
