wiper arm cross reference

I have a set of NOS wiper arms and blades from a 1991 vintage CMC - NAPA 51-255N

The NAPA website does not show this part, and as I am in Thailand popping down to the local NAPA is a problem. I would like to pick up a couple of sets when back in Vancouver next week, and prefer not to pay 57.00 to VS.

Surely this is not a bespoke item. What do Speedsters use for wiper arms and blades

12 volt VW assembly all across the board.

TeamEvil,

Are you talking about the wiper motor or the arms & blades.

It seems like standard VW arms & blades would be too big.

Just shorten and re-contour the wiper arms, put on any blades that you like. Standard late model Beetle blades are 9 to 10 inches long depending on where you buy them, the blade inserts for MG Midgets and MGBs are smaller. They all come with blade and holder/assembly as a unit, just slide them onto the ends of the re-contoured arms. If you need to, add a dab of Goop to hold 'em. I really doubt that anyone is going through the trouble of manufacturing proprietary wiper arms and blades. Gotta be shelf shoppin' and some adjusting.

Maybe?

The ones on VS's look like stock unmodified Bosch units and they're really short.

Do you have a part number for the Bosch unit or know what they are off

I wonder what these NOS NAPA ones are

For those interested in silver arms and blades, have you investigated Trico Classic wiper blades?

I am curious if they will fit VW wiper arms.

I'm sorry that I don't have access to the car where I'm now to look for Bosch stock numbers if any.
