I have a bunch of v2? (no need for razor blade version) and v4? (two halves). I found that the v2 works the best to keep the two metal bits from clacking each other when closing. Both versions only fit on the thinner lower wiper arm. But I don't have a problem of the metal hitting the window. Thanks so much for designing these!
Amazing lack of response. My presumption is that this thread was merely a flash in the pan that simply did not pan out. It appears to me that there was a real interest in having some or several of these items. I am inclined to work up a couple of molds and simply mode some of them in a two part hard rubber. I think I can make some molds that will allow me to cast about 100 hundred or more of them in about the time it takes to 3D print one. I have worked the design up a little bit based on the first pictures of them in this thread. I don't see any basis for the complexity later developed into these items. I have the tooling, and I can obtain the material to machine the molds, and I have started on that. I plan to make these available gratis, if it works out at all, something like with my door hinge shims. I might have to charge a little bit to ship them overseas or out of the country since they will not ship like my Shims in a letter envelope.

I think it would be a great idea if Roger or Mark can sponsor / stock a run of these pieces. I would be interested in a rubber variant that it similar to the original if they were available. I have 3 cars for them… Maybe reach out to the suppliers and see if they would be interested in a batch?

Thanks for your input. Go back and read my post more carefully, and then tell me how that fits with your suggestion.
You mentioned you had the toolings and plan to build a run of 100 or so and make them available gratis. In my humble opinion, our time and effort -not to mention the cost of material and managing the inventory- could be best served through a central ordering system and ERP/CRM/Payment and shipping gateway. In the end you know whats best for your effort.

Have a good night.
What interest is going to be best served by what you suggest?
I did my part, I designed three versions, shared the files, and gave permission to use my designs.
Besides that, between holding down a full time job, making coffee, tea, juice & soup, I quite honestly don't have time to make these for distribution. But have at it if you feel the need.
Jerry I never got any of these .
I would be quite happy to compensate you for whatever your shipping and handling and packaging costs might be,
I live on the East Coast now.
I would like to get enough for 20 cars,
I have 2 in my driveway that need them.
Every car that comes in needs them as well.
So I could also act as a dispersion point.
