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 |

Got my new Bosch MicroEdge wipers from amazon yesterday...and... they don't fit the arms at all, had to swap the old clips out to make them work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
The clips didn't want to seat on the arms correctly with too much thickness top to bottom, preventing the positive "click" from engaging as well as being just slightly too wide so even if it had clipped in they would have wagged on the arms when in use. That being said, swapping clips is a no brainer, provided you have clips and they're still in good condition. |
