New Wiper Blades for 944 Turbo Cab 1991.

[AdvocatusDiaboli]

Called Halfords and they don't have the wiper blades on their system.

My blades really do need changing...

Where can I get them? Do I simply buy another car model and put them on mine? Which one would fit?

Many thanks!

You can definitely get them in Halfords as that's where I got mine. They're not quite as good as the official Porsche ones as they're a little bit longer but do the job just as well......

Righto, case of taking the blade off and comparing it physically?

You wouldn't remember what car's blade you ended up using would you?

Many thanks!

If you pop into Halfords there are blades in there specifically for the 944 ! Not sure if they were their own make of Bosch

[AdvocatusDiaboli]

Just called them! They don't keep them... Its a superstore. Maybe if I turn up physically it might work some magic?

Have a go, I got mine in Putney which is only a relatively small store. If not, try your local Porsche specialist or OPC.

Thanks, will give it a pop.

Fit refills to your original arms, not complete arms... Cost about a fiver and retains your original Porsche arms

halfords do stock them - got mine there and they were bosch. had the same problem as you initially - "dont stock em mate" but after some digging tehy did find some that fit, but that require a conversion kit i.e a little extra loop of metal, which halfords also stocked. persevere!

Noooooo, just get refills similar to these:





Hellfrauds only seem to stock arms because they can charge you £30 for a pair, instead of a fiver!

and dont forget £5 xtra for the conversion kit!

A common mod is to buy some blades that are an inch or so bigger, you get a much better sweep area. I can't remember the sizes. I think the drivers side is 2" bigger, passenger side1".

Many thanks. Ending up going to a specialist. Got the blades for 7.50 each. Good clean swipes...

Many thanks guys.

Have question about exhaust now... Separate post!
