Suggestion

I improved them by twisting arms to set the blades angle, but they still did it a bit.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Where's good to get them from please. Mines a 996 C4S 2004 model. Cheers.

POST 2Original post

ebay id say, i swear by the flat aero blades, they squeegy your screen clear ! and dont lift off at speed. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-911-9...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3c9d1c198e

POST 3Original post

you are lucky i bought some flat ones and they just judder. I improved them by twisting arms to set the blades angle, but they still did it a bit.

POST 5Original post

PIAA silicone wipers. These coat the screen (with silicone) as you use them, making the screen very 'clear' when it rains. These blades also last for a VERY long time. A set on one of my cars has lasted through three MOTs. PIAAs are one of those very rare products that ACTUALLY do the job well. IMO and no association with PIAA by the way

POST 6Original post

I agree about PIAA blades. I bought a pair a few months ago on the recommendation of earlier posts on this forum. An aerofile blade on the drivers side and curved blade on the passengers side. easy to fit. No smears, and no lift chatter at speed. More expensive than some blades, but in my opinion well worth it. Try Camskill, good price and service.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all, good info :thumb:

POST 9Original post

Agreed again... Much better than the aero blades. And they look better too... :thumb:

POST 10Original post

These sound good. I also have a 996 C4S 2004. Based on the above posts, I need one 22" spoiler blade (drivers side) and one curved) passenger - top and middle in the below? http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m52b224s4375p0 TA Jonathan

POST 11Original post

Do you really need a curved one? I've got straights on a 993 - shirly your 996 windscreen is less curvey? :dont know:

POST 12Original post

Did seem odd - but Bluebird911, Richard H and Stuart should hopefully concur - or you might find yourself in the great 2010 straight vs curvy silicone wiper flame war where mods take sides, families are split and questions are asked in the house.

POST 13Original post

I've got straight ones on mine (Sporza on the driver's side). It misses a tiny bit on the left hand edge on the passenger side at the bottom, but you can't see it from the driving seat. I believe the original blades had a curve as you look along the length of the blade - not extra-curvy blades. TBH I wasn't sure how the PIAA blades curved, so I went with straight on both sides. Works fine.

POST 14Original post

Thanks Richard. I'lii just order one of each and answer the conundrum - can the curved ones get the last tiny bit on the passenger side. Apologies to clint for the hi-jack. We return you to your normal programming.

POST 15Original post

Yes Richard is right. I had standard Porsche blades on untill I replaced them with PIAAs. The curve is very slght. The 'curve' does not follow the profile of the window (the blade frame flexes to keep the blade in contact with the screen), but when in the blades are upright ie at the fullest sweep to the right viewing from the diver's seat, the passenger blade is a slight 'c' in shape. Straight or curved, I can't see it making much difference. I changed like for like.
