Wiper Blade in Stainless Steel

[Bez]

I was looking for a stainlesss steel replacement of my black wiper blades to match my original stainless steel wiper arms.

Trico 33-160 (16" or 406mm) is NLA.

I had SF Don order me a set of the PILOT WB-016S Performance Polished Wiper Blade from Amazon.

Finally, I found a part on the exterior of the coupe that does not rust.

I will humbly await his review and blessing.

Thanks for the info on this! Anybody have a stainless driver's side arm they can spare?

Are 2002 the same?

 

[HB Chris]

2002 arm is straight at the tip, coupe is curved like hook.

 

[DWMBMW]

2002 arm (currently on the car) are shorter and do not have the "hook".

 

[tmason]

I have a couple of 2002 if you would like them.

I might be interested in the 2002 arms...

 

[HB Chris]

2002 is too short and needs an adapter to hold the blade

The Coupe wiper arm end is referred to as a Shepherd's Crook mount, '02s are called Bayonet mount.

Looking forward to an update on how they fit, function and look...

Well- there is added piece of metal on these that doesn't make me happy.

 

[HB Chris]

I could see this one coming.

Dremmel!

I think it looks fine. So it has a little wing. Probably has to do with keeping the rubber edge on the glass at speed.

Don. Can u please post a pic of the wiper blades on the car. Say from three feet away. Thanks

 

[sfdon]

Yep they both arrived- will take pics. I'm at coupeking this week, tuning and Dyno days,
Back next week.
