Discovery 2 D1 Wiper Arm Swap
#12
I’m going back to the D2 wipers as well. Was thinking of using these blades.

Situation:
Recently purchased an 04 D2. Stock wiper blades are torn. Was contemplating swapping to the D1 arms just for the better blade options, but don't mind spending a few extra bucks on the OEM D2 blades if the setup works better than D1.
I've read about lack of force against the glass by tired, 20 year old D2 arms, but I cannot really test how mine are due to the blades being shot. They seem to still have a bit of snap.
Any thoughts on what a good arm spring should feel like? I know it's a vague question. Sorry.
I will be doing an intro at some point, but I'm trying to get this truck ready for winter ASAP. Tires and wipers are very top of the list. The truck came with one year old 18" Michelin Latitiude highway tires. Not very useful this time of year. I've got a set of 16's coming up from Will Tillery next week.
