I have changed my wiper blades to 20" aero style blades, but they are perhaps even worse than before, failing to clear water and rising up like a cobra at speeds above the national limit. Do any of you know if its possible to fit 2 spring GTS style arms to my 85 S2?

Thanks,

RB

You must be able to do something? They're no good like that. Have you got any pictures and I'll look on an S4 and see if there is a difference. If you want wiper arms, I know someone breaking an S2.

Hi :)

For what its worth on my S2 I have 20 inch and they work perfectly....the blades are nothing special but the arms are blue of course lol...but...I would think there is something wrong with your linkage as they should work perfectly at all 3 speeds as mine do...

My brother has the new Bosch Aero wipers on his by the way and he says they are miles better than standard....

All the best Brett :)

Just out of interest, why do they specify 18inch blades for cars from 78 to 84.., and 19inch for all cars onwards, thought the screens were the same size ?
I replaced my blades with " Sparco"18inch aero flat blades and they,re fine, wiped off the "Sparco" logo with thinners.
