Default Winter wipers? Do they exist for the TT?

Went to 2 different large auto supply places today to find winter wipers (sealed inside rubber boot type) for the TT - no luck! Both places said they show none in their books either. Just sent Clair Parts an email on this as well.

I remember someone here had installed some winter wipers on their TT. What brand/model were they and where were they purchased?

Thanks!

Default Just get any winter wipers, keeping in mind the length of each wiper blade . . .

It snaps on like any wiper from Bosch or anyone else.

Default Thanks! I think it's 22"... need to measure both blades though to be sure.

And what about blade curvature? Seems the TT has an extreme curvature, thought maybe an aftermarket blade might needed to be custom built to fit properly. But perhaps not...

Default I would give it a shot to see if it works . . .

You never know. Do they carry a regualr replacement blade for the TT? See if that one is curved and that will answer your question!

Default Yes, used 'em for years. They are a bit heavier, so they hold to the glass...

and the best reason, they are completly covered in a thin rubber tube-like,( dare I say 'condom') skin, rubber, not vinyl, that won't allow ice or snow to jamb up the mechanisims.

If you can't find a pair, I'll gladly send you a set.

Let me know, they are about $12/ea.

Default I'll let you know if Larry and I come up empty handed, thanks for the offer.

I can PayPal you for them if I indeed cannot find locally.
