Checking through the service records for my car the other day I couldn't see any mention of wipers so, despite the current ones looking OK, I thought I'd just pop on a new set: Having the OPC warranty, I decided to keep it genuine.
WOW, what are genuine Porsche wipers made of? I've never paid more than about £30 for a good quality set but Porsche and most others wanted closer to £100 for a front/rear set (mine has the rear wiper).
I can only assume they're made of some rare material (like Oakley with their Unobtanium rubber) or Weissach must have spent millions redesigning the same blade as everyone else uses, for 3 times the price :?
Porsche tax I understand for something designed especially for a Porsche but not for something mundane like wipers....
Finally found the best price at 9 Apart Ltd, who did a genuine set, including delivery for £78.95 :thumb:
