Hi all
My last batch of new 13" Bosch blades will not work (properly) on 914 and 911-912 wiper arms. They now only have clips for 9mm arms. Any solutions?? Thanks, Brad |

Yes we could make a clip that would work if necessary. Just irritating that the wipre manufacturers are changing spec and we get caught in the middle.

Back in the day I used to just replace the rubber squeegee part. Seeing I have two 914's and a beetle I'd buy almost a dozen sets of refills. |
