what size rear blade
my D1 arms came today and I got 2- 21" for the front

I think rear is 14".

 

Yes is a 14" but I left the D2 rear arm and wiper on for now because you would loose the washer nozzle with D1 arm. If I can remember the D1 had a nozzle mounted on the body and not on the arm it's self.

Also on the D1 front arms I was only able to use the D2 nut caps because the D1 caps will not fit correctly over the D2 stock nuts. D1 must have a smaller head on the nuts. Anyways the D2 caps work just fine.

The D2 rear wiper is relatively cheap and easy to get, Trico 14-D at advanced for $12. I left mine on since the D1 wiper arm does not have the washer nozzle as Mark says, and it's way sexier.

 

I agree the washer nozzle on the arm works a lot better than D1 I used to hate that dam thing never really got it aim right.

Just replaced by DII arms with DI's and Bosch Icons. A past post mentioned that O'riley's has a buy one get one free which does last to the end of 03/11. The problem I ran into is multiple O'rileys had not stock or no 21" blades. So I had previously spent 40$ at autozone for these and went to return when they said they price match. 20$ saved, Probably spent this in gas driving around but its all in the hunt!!

PS. These Disco's can't be that bad if I'm talking about Wipers!!!

Cheers!!

With this new DI arm/bosch Icon set up I still have an area about 1" wide located at drivers eye level that doesn't get wiped. Anyone also have this issue? I'm thinking it is a windshield issue now since this is a new windscreen. Thought I'd get big points from the wife on the wiper change but am finding out it take more then a wiper change to make that happen..

 

I found that I had to bend the BLADE arm a bit with the disco 1 arms on the drivers side to get it to sit flat; when I replaced the set, I realized that if I turned the wiper over, it actually worked, so I guess I put it on bass ackwards.

On the rear, I used a D1 arm, too, I simply pushed the nozzle into a grommet, and forced the grommet into the arm above the blade's attachment point. The spray still sucks, it just isn't as high on the suck-o-meter as it was before.

BTW, the set of three blades and clips from the delaer was anly $30 for the original wipers...but the always had to order them, and they only lasted for about six months. The Bosch blades last forever if you keep them clean.

 

Amazing!!! Never thought of doing this. Thanks for the tip.
