    Replacing wiper blades (not refills)

    I replaced the wiper blades on the D4 from Wipertech, there the latest fancy "flexi" type blades, do a great job. So, has anyone replaced their D2 blades with these latest flexi types. Wipertech have for the D2 just the regular blade, cant seem to get a definite fit from others. Thanks in advance

    AFAIK none of the single blade types will fit, the arm is unique to the D2 and I think 5 Series BMW from the same era.

    Which is why I replaced mine with D1 arms. Any standard blade will fit and I have the flexi type.

    I have to admit that I went with Toombie's advice of many moons/years ago and got Silblades (silicon) from USA - lasted for years, although I do have to admit my D2 was usually garaged.

    Replacing wiper blades (not refills)

    Just got my 3rd set of the replacement brand Super Cheap sell. Seem to last a good few years, fit perfectly and work well. $35 each from memory.

    Edit: Oops this is for a D3.

    Sorry Gavin , didn't mean to Implant my statement in the wrong context......and anyhow , the squeaking on the rough tracks could be rectified by the wearing of a bra
