Default Bosch makes a 987-specific wiper blade set

So interesting find, Bosch 3-397-001-582 (or Porsche 996-628-901-08) is a two blade set that's specific for the 987. It's got the shorter 21" blade for the right side and longer 22" blade (with aero wing) for the left side.

But the interesting part is the shorter right side blade: it's curved upwards in an arc along its whole length. I've never seen a blade like that before, honestly. This seems to help with the fit to the Cayman windshield.

My 987.2 had standard blades straight blades on it when I got it used and the passenger side one never seemed to fit quite right. I guess that's because it's supposed to use a funky curved blade on that side from the factory?

Anyway, $29 a set from Pelican Parts, which isn't any more expensive than a pair of general purpose blades: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...SVSI=4902&fs=0

Bosch Icon blades are my go-to for all of my cars. These, coupled with an Aquapel treatment, makes driving in precipitation a breeze.

Looks like it was first used on the original Audi A8. Cool!
