Reply to "Wipers"

I’ve looked at numerous photos of Speedsters as it relates to wipers. For one, our VW setup will never be an exact match if that’s the goal. They are different. That said, in every photo I’ve seen, there’s definitely a distance where the spindle is seen.  I’ve also seen a variety of wiper blade placements as it relates to its resting position on the windscreen. Some are angled on the windscreen, some rest flush against the rubber seal at the bottom, and even one where it was located off the glass below the rubber seal.

Seeing the spindle doesn’t bother me, personally. I just enjoy the Porsche wiper arm over the black VW arm.  I guess it becomes a “pick your battles” scenario.  

As it relates to the install, as with everything I have purchased for this car, nothing has ever been a simple plug and play for me. Even the simple rubber gaskets around the horn grills. I had to drill my own holes in the gasket. As the holes that came pre drilled (on the gasket) were at the 6/12 position and my holes are at the 3/9 position.
