I'll take a few of those at 16 Euro, thank you! If you can share the numbers and a favorite source, that would help a lot!

No, they jump off glass when "seated" not in use.

The Valeo SWF 800 series Import wiper part # is 800-19-1. These wipers are close to what I was looking for. see eBay item # 272365872707

For $10 I may give them a try. The classic Porsche part I saw was over $200 for the 928 part!

Thanks! The hunt is on for a set of spares, so the originals can retire to the archived-original-parts bin.

Here's the SWF catalogue listing for our cars (and then some):






This site says they sell them: https://www.valeoserviceusa.com as does Amazon under the combined name of Valeo/SWF.

eBay.de also lists them. Not sure about shipping costs to the US but for Canada it was ~50 euros.

I noticed the same thing in their on-line catalog. The one in the catalog (116-623) will have the longer spoiler though. The ones that look right (with a shorter spoiler) is 116-604.

I just bought a set on Amazon.de yesterday for 25 euro / 27 USD. Should have them in a couple days and will post pics then.

Francesco is right, the GTS in the museum definitely has them on both sides. The 83 at the museum just has one spoiler on the driver's side. And that jibes with what Porsche classic has for the 78-86 cars.

116604 is at the top of the box in the second picture that Francesco posted above in post #22. He also mentions it in post #19.

The number (length) appears to depend on the model year.
