Hey gang,
how do I find out what brand/size windshield wiper blades I need. I have an '85. Are some brands recomended over others and where is the best place to get them.

Thanks

 

19 inch Bosche ....... is OEM others will function also

Joey

 

the 19 works fine the original was a 20 .

 

Bosch ....... They have some really good ones too, I replaced all of them on both cars (Cars are in Washington where it likes to rain a lot) with the Bosch Micro edge blades, new holders too, they snap right on to the existing arms with ease. I bought them at some Schucks I believe.

 

What about the new silicone blades that cost so much. Worth anything?

I've gotten replacement blades at the local auto parts store. Unlike many other 928 parts, the blades are the same size as many other cars. You should be able to look them up in the catalogs that are usually located with all the blades. They're one of the few items you ever find for a 928 in a store.

I got the Bosch blades and like them a lot.

 

Definitely the Bosch. I have used them on all of my cars, and have even had them work perfectly for up to 3 years if I remember to pick them up off of the glass after using them, so they don't rest folded over while in the sun. When they seem to need replacing I just wipe along the edge of the blade firmly with a damp towel until no more crud comes off and they're good as new.

Once again, the key to getting the most from your wiper blades is, don't leave them parked for extended periods of time with the rubber distorted.
