22" on the drivers side - sounds like a Bosch set, don't know why they still do that....a pair of 22" blades from everyone else! Paul Redding

I think if you buy a Peugeot 206 set, you get 2 x 22" ones. I don't why Bosch find it necessary to supply odd wipers when the OEM sizes are 22" either side.  2021 BMW iX3 Premier Edition in Carbon Black ⚡️🔌

Steve - Sorry to be a pain!
Fitted the front ones no problem and they are working perfectly!
I have purchased a Mitchelin for the rear and not sure its fitted correctly...
It has for different inserts but none of these look suitable. I have fitted it directly as supplied without the additional inserts and while it looks the best fit and seems secure-ish, I am not convinced that it is fully secure??
Can you help/advise please??
Cheers

the new FFRR & RRS in the Belfast Stealers last week & note the wipers fitted arent flatblade anymore....they are sort of a plastic moulding witha suspension system aka the old fashined way of wipers.
are these the Michelin brand or something equivalent ?...I couldnt see a makers name.... BREXIT - done properly.

SF - I expect you have it correct, it just pushes along to the end of the hook, I found the best way of fitting was to remove the adaptor, put it sort of in place on the arm so the slot is accessible then fit the blade in and slide to the end. They do fit fine I put a set of Michelins on my D3 when they were launched and they are still all on.
BLF - Hybrid blades no doubt, that is the way that most manufacturers are heading (until something even better pops up)
The michelins we have are Hybrids but there are other OE suppliers doing them now. No idea who is supplying JLR with these (yet) Paul Redding
