Alternate wipers?

[giantturtle]

I am wondering if wiper arms from any other models will fit on the front and rear of a BG/BK? I am not talking about the blades, but the arms that hold them. The stockers seem to rust on contact with air. Are there any slick later model ones that will fit? (Part numbers appreciated). :smile:

I just repaint mine every 3 years...

Yeah, me too. Unfortunately the springs rust out so they don't keep tension on the glass. Of course the springs can be replaced, but I was just wondering anyone happened to know if anything else would fit. Some of the more recent ones are quite funky looking. I haven't got round to measuring any yet.

I've wondered if the 99 RS ones (with the aerofoil on the driver's arm) would fit.

I had a spare pair of RS wiper arms which I tried fitting, they didn't work too well.

On the other hand, RS washer nozzles work great!
