Wiper blades complete or Refills only ?

I’d settle for either. All I can find locally are the single beam blades. They just look off on the car. I know performance is better but I don’t drive my car in the rain. Just need them in case I get caught.

anyone l know where to get old school rubber refills for our cars or look alike complete blades that have the correct hooks to mate up?

The item turned up in a huge envelope however had been bended around to fit inside it, when I took the item out my heart sank on the grounds that there gave off an impression of being a lasting twist in the wiper sharp edges. I put forth a valiant effort to fix them and afterward spent a wile faffing about with my old wiper cutting edges attempting to isolate the edges from the arm they were mounted on. this was the hardest piece of the introduce. The new cutting edges nearly slid directly in I simply expected to broaden one end by prying it's anything but a piece. After that when the cutting edges had adjusted safely and easily properly on the wiper arms I managed the abundance off and put them on the vehicle, at this point there was no proof they had at any point been bowed. It was with everything taken into account not exactly thirty minutes of playing about and taking care of business.

I use SilBlade for wipers. One time purchase. Haven't had to change them on my RC-F for four years so far. Been on the 997TT a couple weeks after purchasing. A buddy of mine has had them on his car for 8 years and they still wipe perfectly.

Porsche is not listed on the fitment menu. What did you buy and what year is your 997? I’ve got a 2011 997.2

thanks

Mine is an 09 997.1

I just bought the UniBlade they offer in 22" and 21" I believe. Whatever was the factory recommended size, I went down an inch for the passenger side.
