Wipers?

i have an 87 coupe with 1 13" wiper on the driverside and 1 15" on the passenger side.
Is this correct or should they both be 13"?

If so am i putting extra strain on the motor with the 15" blade?

Am still in my first weeks of ownership and no manual yet so appologies for the lame question.

Mike,

I have an '84 Carrera. Both front wiper blades are 13" long.

Welcome to the Porsche world! No question is dumb, so ask away.

Mike,

The only problem with the 15" blade would be if it can hit the windshield weatherstripping at the upper portion of the sweep. Not really a problem at low speed, but since the 911 wipers are the fastest at top speed that I have ever seen, I expect brushing even a piece of weatherstripping at peak velocity could cause a problem with bushings, bearings, or linkage.
