Wolfsburg edition VW Rabbit GTI's used those also, just uses air flow to press the wiper to the windshield at high speeds in the rain., then they invented RAINX.

 

I think just being in a 928 means that already...

True Dat!! (;

 

Dean, I am pretty sure your metal one is factory. As OTR18WHEELER said some early VW has factory fitted metal arm spoiler as well. I believe ever since Bosch came up with the spoiler integrated wiper, the arm spoiler was no long used.

 

May I ask what is the length of your frameless wiper used at the back? I may follow your instruction to put on a longer than stock wiper on. Except with a traditional one with frame. I just love the constructed look of the framed ones .

 

Back in the 80's ,the standard ricer equipment was the clip on wiper arm spoiler with 3 adjustable louvers. By putting a pair of those on makes your ride looks cooler and faster~! By the way those are still available at Canadian Tire if anyone is still interested.

Ricers haven't changed much eh? Beautiful car of yours btw, lovely luxurious color.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the Wiper Blade Arm Spoilers?

 

Which is reason enough NOT to put those things on your car. Form may follow function but these are just UGLY and take away from everything good about these cars.

 

If you use the Bosch ICONs they have a mini low profile spoiler all along the blade length - this looks smooth - it can be a lower profile because its longer and there are no open areas to create lift and it exerts downforce all along the blade.

I like the ICONs - both how they perform and how they look - its not stock - but you don't really notice it either - just blends in. I won't be going back.
