Wiper Arm Lengths

[newkitman]

I’m headed to a VW car show this weekend and there will be used and new parts vendors there. I set the wiper arms in position against my windshield glass and it looks like the stock 71 beetle wiper arms are going to be too long for the TD windshield. Does anyone have the measurement of each wiper arm? I think I need shorter ones.

Thanks gang.

Greg, sit tight; I have a set from my BCW that might work for you. I’ll send them for shipping cost if you want them.

Not sure the length but pretty sure they are the VW arms (69) fitted with shorter (9 inch?) blades. I’m away from home but will measure them Sunday for you if you want.

Ed. Thanks for the offer. I’ll wait on the wiper arms. I got to thinking and the arms I have are the old ones from my 74 Ghia. Windshield is way larger on that one. I’ll just hunt down the new vendors at the car show saturday and see if I can get new floor pans and a new gas cap with gasket, and…and…and…! Plus I get to see a lot of nice cars.

I’ve got a NAPA right down the street from where I work. If no luck at the VW Meltdown in Montgomery, AL, I’ll check with them next week. That’s where I’ve gotten some parts before. newkitman2012-07-26 10:55:41
