Any problem getting out of your garage now? It looks pretty tight...

 

Pink, what color is that? Is it that gray one? Name?

 

Not happy with the wipers on my newly-purchased D2, I learned about the issue with D2's having custom wipers (that aren't cheap). I went to my local pick and pull salvage yard and removed the front and rear wipers for $11. (I also took the D1's heavy duty back mat for $1.50--hoping it fits decent--but that's not for this thread).

Removal and installation were super easy. I used the nuts from the D1 to secure the D1 arms to the D2. All done in a matter of minutes. The wipers on the D1 arms were actually in pretty nice shape, but I splurged and picked up some new RainX Latitudes anyways. They were out of 21s, so I went with a couple of 20s (the D1s were 18s, and I think the D2s were as well). The 20s have a real nice fit and coverage. (I know others say the 21s will fit--but I think they might be a bit too big.)

I'll tackle the back wiper when the weather gets a bit nicer. I'll likely opt for the zip tie method to secure the rear wiper washer jet. Although, I have a dremel that I enjoy using; so maybe I'll go for the full mod.

In short:

1. If you're thinking about doing this mod, I highly encourage you to do so; it's painfully easy.
2. Check your salvage yard to save money on the conversion kit.
3. Enjoy

 

It is tight, but gets in and out fine.

It does seem higher than my D1 (~30k miles old OME HD on 31" tires). I dont know if that is the roof bars or an illusion.

Color is Giverny Green.

 

thank you, looks nice.

 

Thanks.

Ironically, Im not the biggest fan of green cars, yet both my rovers are green.

Their colors are growing on me though

 

Got a P0462 this morning (12 deg F), my Disco's way of telling me: "mah pee froze!"
