Alfa Romeo 75 Wiper Blade Sizes
This guide is for everyday Alfa Romeo 75 owners who want to replace their windscreen wiper blades but are not sure what to buy. It covers the wiper sizes for the Alfa Romeo 75 built between 1985 and 1993. You do not need any technical knowledge to use it. Just read the details for your car and match the blades to each side of the windscreen.
Wiper sizes can differ between generations of the same model, so it is worth checking which generation your car is before you buy. This guide lists the sizes for the Alfa Romeo 75 generation sold in Australia. Take a moment to confirm your car matches the years shown. That way you get blades that fit properly and clear the glass well.
Use the guide like this. First find your generation in the list below. Then note the driver side and passenger side sizes. Check the wiper arm type shown so you know how the blade attaches. When you buy, match each side to the size given. If anything is unclear, check your car before ordering so you get the right blades the first time.
Alfa Romeo 75 wiper sizes for each generation

Shop 1985-1993 wiper bladesFor the Alfa Romeo 75 built between 1985 and 1993, the driver side takes an 18 inch (450 mm) blade and the passenger side takes an 18 inch (450 mm) blade. Both sides use the same size, which keeps things simple. Before fitting, lift the arm off the glass and check that the new blade clips on securely and sits flat against the windscreen. A blade that is not seated properly will not clear the glass evenly, so take a moment to get it right.
How to work out which Alfa Romeo 75 you have
Work out which generation you have by checking the build years of your Alfa Romeo 75. The years are shown with each entry in this guide. If your car falls within the years listed, use the sizes given for that generation. If you are unsure, look at your car's compliance plate or paperwork, or ask your mechanic to confirm the build year before you buy.
Once you know your generation, match each side separately. The driver side and passenger side can take different sizes, so buy one blade for each side using the figures shown. Do not assume both sides are the same. Check the wiper arm type too, so the blade you buy attaches the way your arm expects. Fitting the correct size to each side gives you a clean, even sweep across the glass.
How to fit your new wiper blades
Hook-style arm
The end of your wiper arm is a curved hook, and the blade clips onto it.
- Lift the wiper arm away from the windscreen until it stays upright.
- Press the small release tab on the blade connector and slide the blade down and off the hook.
- Slide the new blade onto the hook until it clicks into place.
- Gently lower the arm back onto the glass.
When to replace your wiper blades
Worn wiper blades show themselves in everyday driving. You may see streaks of water left behind after each sweep, or smears that make the glass harder to see through. Sometimes the blades squeak or judder across the windscreen. These are all signs that the rubber has worn and is no longer clearing the glass properly.
Look closely at the rubber edge of each blade. If it is split, cracked, or coming away from the frame, it needs replacing. A blade that leaves patches of water or skips across the glass is not doing its job. Even if the blade looks fine, poor visibility in rain is a clear warning. Do not wait for a heavy downpour to find out your blades are past their best.
Good visibility matters for safe driving. Clear glass lets you see the road, other cars, and pedestrians in wet weather. Streaky or smeary blades make it harder to judge distance and spot hazards. Replacing worn blades is a simple job that makes a real difference to how confidently you drive in the rain.
Looking after your wipers
Look after your wipers and they will last longer. Clean the windscreen regularly, as dust and grime wear the rubber edge. Wipe the blades themselves with a damp cloth to remove grit. When you wash the car, take a moment to clean along the length of each blade. Sun and dust both wear rubber over time, so parking in shade where you can helps.
When you clean the glass or leave the car parked, lift the wiper arms off the windscreen if it is safe to do so, rather than letting them sit against hot glass. Check your washer fluid regularly and top it up so you can clear the screen when needed. Never use the wipers on a dry windscreen, as this wears the rubber quickly. A little care keeps the sweep clean.
