Vagnum Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 i'm experimenting with a new style of aero wiper arms and blades and would like peoples opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Looks cleaner but, do they work at slightly above 69mph ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Weird. How about a full window and car shot. Difficult to tell that close. Very modern. First instinct is square doesn't go with the curvey shape of the Supra. What makes them 'aero'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Any additional wind noise when working ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagnum Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 I haven't tested them while driving yet, they're aero due to the shape being aero dynamic and full rubber, they work on the car they came from but once I get a full set I'll try them on the motorway and let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Interesting. I have been pondering fitting Alfa GTV washer arms to mine. They have the squirter-jets along the arm, which seems a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 These are similar to those fitted to my old audi and the better halfs ford galaxy, they work reasonably well at m-way speeds. Carl0s, you might have more luck finding a peugeot 406 in the breakers - they have spray jets on the wiper arms too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stt Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Carl0s, you might have more luck finding a peugeot 406 in the breakers - they have spray jets on the wiper arms too. Thats a 405 btw,406 are in the bonnet Those wipers are fitted to most of the new Vw,Audi and the likes,They are pretty good as when you lift them from the screen the will bend to a c shape so they will suit the curvature of the supra screen very good,How did the go on as the vw ones seem to have special arms for them too?

foodfreak Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 The arms from the older 2.8i supra had spray holes in the arms too john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 If you fit the silicone blades from PIAA, it won't matter if they lift off above [ahem] 69mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I hate to say it for fear of repraisal, but the wipers on my 540i work extremely well at high speeds, although I think the swap would be extremely difficult given the design and mechanism required to drive the arms. I am very interested in what works best above 250 clicks though, so all info and lessons learned are highly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooper-supra Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 looks smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I lilke the look of those wipers, theyr'e the design used as OE equipment on Audis, fords Mercedes, VW, BMW and even Lamborghini. They must be fairly effective you would assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Has anybody ever thought of welding one of those aero wing pieces to the front of the wiper arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0c4in3 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hey there... I just bought those for my supra. http://www.autotoys.com/pics/piaasporza.jpg They look awesome and due tot he big spoiler they will work even better at higher speeds, I think. Still havent installed them so let see and wait what will happens. But the look is great and the silicon makes you screen resistend against water and it will better peel of.

Jspec Germany Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm still interested in this aero wiper. Any updates? Are they made for the supra? I saw a set recently on a newer BMW 3-series. Looks like the whole wiper blade has a wing shape to it. Has anybody seen the 'Bosch Icon' blades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap. So they're not a direct fit. We'd have to change the wiper arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagnum Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Crap. So they're not a direct fit. We'd have to change the wiper arms? yes mate the wipers use a pin to hold them on to the arm not like the old type where they clip on so the arms need to be replaced also, but they do work better at high speed's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 how fast have you tested them? I need something that works over 100mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
