Are they the same as late 60's or early 70's 911's?

Not sure about the 911 but 914's have a straight arm #914.628.313.10 left side "observe installation hints" and angular arm #914.628.314.10 again "observe installation hints" right side.
Both are listed as SWF Install hints would be in the factory repair manual. |

Don't buy the "jp group" brand from pelican ,bought these for my car and they don't fit,someone screwed up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) cause they even have a 911 part number so that will answers your question, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
EDIT ,just researched and there seems a cross over sorry for the bad info,well it appears that way the ones I have appear to be for a latter 911....still looking as I would like to sell them. |

Another issue is with the fit of the Bosch wiper blade plastic adapter. The ones currently packaged with the wiper blades are a bit wide and provide a loose fit on the arm. Frustrating!

Frustrating, yes they can come loose after an "extended" use of 15 minutes during an early morning drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Good project for Mikey914? Save those old Bosch adapters if you still have them.

Had the same issue found some off a Golf or BMW and they worked took up the slop ,the ones provided where completely wrong,shame cause they were well made, used Bosch blades on other euro cars for years and no issues. Bugger really (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |

Can you still get refills for bosch blades?
I always use to just replace the squeegee, but FLAPS around here don't seem to carry them anymore, |

Turns out Pelican sent me arms for 911 MY 1976 - 1991 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ,oh well at least I know what I have now.
The earlier arms 911 MY 1968 - 1975 appear to cross over to the 914 ,the 911 number is in fact 914 628 314 00 (rh side). I noticed prices all over the place, genuine was $123 down to $45- 35 for reproduction ones. My old wiper blades were SWF so presume the arms are too ,maybe thats the issue with the Bosch part on those arms (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I had just ordered a pair of Bosch from Pelican. I was on the phone @ 0700 changing them to Porsche. I remembered the the last set I bought didn't fit worth a Continental Damn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fyou1.gif) Now I know why. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Disagree!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I think I threw away my blade holders with good fitting adapters a couple months ago when I was stripping my car down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Wish I'd seen this post beforehand. Maybe I'll get lucky and find that I tossed them into one of the many plastic tubs of parts. |

Can you still get refills for bosch blades? I always use to just replace the squeegee, but FLAPS around here don't seem to carry them anymore, FLAPS makes more off the entire blade ($10-15) , so they don't carry them in stores, the refills ($1-3) can be purchased online but shipping usually make them cost prohibitive. |
