What did you do with your DII today?
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
