My 986 has had multiple owners and I checked an old service invoice for work done and it references two parts codes (below) used when the wipers were previously replaced, but nothing that pops up looks like mine when I search those parts:

Just grab a pair of Hella or Bosch etc at Rockauto or like and they will use the standard hook w/ latch set-up and look OEM w/o some bulky adapter.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I'm new to the 986Forum and am reaching out about wiper blade replacement. I did a search and didn't see anything similar, so thought to ask in advance of contacting my local Porsche dealer. I'd like to just snap in a new blade, but I'm having trouble identifying the correct replacement. My 986 has had multiple owners and I checked an old service invoice for work done and it references two parts codes (below) used when the wipers were previously replaced, but nothing that pops up looks like mine when I search those parts: 1) 996-628-901-01 2) 996-628-901-02 I've attached a photo of the left wiper, which looks identical in design to the right wiper. To remove the blade, you push down on the two flat tabs and it pops loose. I've never seen this configuration before and visited two parts stores this weekend, who were mystified. There's a video on YouTube demonstrating wiper replacement on a 986 and the design in the video seems to show one tab to click, not the two tab setup like mine. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in finding these.

It is Bosch 582S - Wiper Twin - Length: 550/530 mm Set for front screen. The passenger side is bent in a banana shape -- and that is correct.

Thanks, that appears to be a a hook and latch set up? Mine is a dual-tab click latch. But please let me know what you think.

POST 5Original post

But your wiper arm looks original, you just have to take off the old stuff, then you can mount the new one ...

POST 6Original post

Agree w 997_986... wiper arm is original but blade installed looks like some aftermarket "better mousetrap" solution. Just grab a pair of Hella or Bosch etc at Rockauto or like and they will use the standard hook w/ latch set-up and look OEM w/o some bulky adapter. Good luck

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, all. I had previously been to my local parts shop, who asked me to bring the car and everything in. Went yesterday and turns out that the Trico 90-220 wipers are exactly what's needed. Comes with two attachment types which, when popped off, match my wiper latch type exactly.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
