Saw a silver euro 928 with driver side spoiler on wiper blade. Mine dance a bit above 100 mph. Any ideas for this vital problem?!

My US-delivered S4 has a little curved deflector/spoiler on the driver's side wiper. The tendency for owners to buy whole replacement blades rather than the rubber inserts/refills is the common cause of loss.

Contact 928 International for a good used one if you don't need one new.

You're driving above 100 mph in the rain and worried about the wipers dancing ???

Some will say just go with a modern Icon "thick" blade. Alternatively, if you want a more period correct with a spoiler, check out Bosch Super Plus blades. You can find them on e-bay or amazon. But check the picture of the ad to make sure they have the spoiler because not all Super Plus blades have it.

I didn't have luck with 928 Intl when I was looking for the ones for a GTS, but maybe you'll have better luck with your MY.

The Forgotten On

Porsche classic sells the wiper arm with the spoiler for $120 US.

They occasionally pop up on ebay for much less. I bought a set with the factory original blades foe $20. Good luck hunting

Also apply RainX to the windshield. I find that with RainX I don't typically need the wipers above 40mph.

I used to do this but I read in Audi owners manual not to use it on front windshield or rear because it makes the wipers chatter/skip and the haze it creates which I found to be true

A much superior product is Pinnacle Black Label Glass coating. My Audi has a variant of this since new (+3 years) and it still beads the water. RainX wears off and smears after a couple of months. The Pinnacle system lasts for over a year before it needs to be re-applied.

I haven't experienced that yet but good to know.

My Honda DD gets Rain-X a few times a year. It does come off with regular car washes. The directions offer that a mist of water following application and initial buffing will help make the fogging disappear. I find that quite effective. The rear and side windows get a coating of paint sealant at the same times the painted surfaces get theirs. Water, snow, salt spray and other roadgoing hazardous materials come off much easier, without any spotting.

Still, the OP's question was about finding the correct wiper blade with the little spoiler. They were fitted originally to many of the cars, and shouldn't be too difficult to find used or new.
