Wipers
#12
I replaced the entire wipers new D2 arms etc because I was having issues, wipers didn’t press hard enough on the window and would miss sections. Figured replacing would fix, It didn’t. Once I put D1 - D2 conversion on they worked perfectly. I figured this was a widespread issue but seeing the replies. Maybe not.

The whole idea behind the mod isn't that the D1 arms are better at all, it's just that the replacement blades are cheaper and easier to find.
I tried D1 wiper arms and also found that I could not buy a blade that properly wiped the entire windshield. I was spending more money on cheap blades trying to find the magic ones than the actual D2 blades cost. So i gave up and went back to the trusty D2 arms and blades. Things have been working fine ever since. Sometimes being cheap just doesn't pay off.

You can get a spring that wraps the wiper arm and provides more down pressure for the D1 wiper mod, no missed spot anymore works perfectly, 15.00 CDN for a pair.
