If you order these on eBay from AB, you get free shipping compared to $13+ for shipping charge off of their website.
I'm cheap like that. lol

Jeff, don't waste your time with traditional wiper blades, go grab a pair of 21" (530mm) aero blades which have inbuilt spoilers and also far better screen contact than traditional blades. You should be able to pick up a pair of aero blades for around $10 as mine came from Bulgaria and cost about £3.20 each.

Thanks for the tip. I ordered the AB kit for simplicity rather than try to piece together part numbers... but when those wipers are done I'll look into Aero blades.

I bought the kit from AB and one of the arms came apart about a year later at the hinge point. Bought a used OEM D1 arm from a salvage yard and it looks to be made a bit better. Moral of the story snag a used set of D1 arms somewhere if you get the opportunity. The AB kit is convenient but not that well made.

I bought mine from Rover's North and by the looks of it, they'll far outlast my Rover. Seems like everything is falling apart but the blades are holding strong.

Received mine from AB today. Quality looks solid. They're Britpart arms and wipers. Some people knock on Britpart, but I've personally bought quite a few of their parts and haven't been disappointed.
