I am changing the wiper blades to the PIAA type, looking on their web site the recommended size is way too big. Measuring the current Bosch fitted I have a straight 16" and a straight 18".
Is this the best fit and size or did the car come with curved blades :?:
I'm not near the car now, but I'm fairly sure the sizes are 18 and 15? That's what IIRC I have from PIAA, and they are excellent :thumb:
I bought straight ones, and although there is a very small triangle (bottom right) that is missed, this is out of my field of vision, AND more importantly the majority of the screen is 'flat' and so is IMO best suited to flat blades.
The proper Porsche supplied blades have some extra linkages in them to allow the rubber blade to bend over the curve of the screen.
I only found this out last week. I had been fitting aftermarket Bosch blades for the last few years thinking they were all the same. I bought some Porsche blades from an OPC (made by Bosch). These are definitely different.

The genuine Porsche arms are better, I kept my old ones but fitted the Bosch Aero Twins from Ace parts, they dont "fit" the screen curve as well but they seem to work well and I just realised they are still ok after a year.
I just bought some this morning and then fount this thread post purchase...
Seems no one really know which ones fit the 993... the PIAA site is wrong as it recommends 22" I think (one straight one curved)
I measured mine current ones and found the following
17¾ Drivers Side
15¾ Passenger Side
15 Back
So I bought 17, 16, 15... I have not fit them yet.. I'll let you know what I find when I do... seem everyone recommends the straight ones... and I agree.. the fancy one with the aerodynamic wing seems a little bit too 'boy racer' to me
....mine look like that and it realyl annoys me.......if I buy and fit Porsche recommended ones does that mean they will stay flush with the curve of the screen when they are at rest?

....As I am quite happy to use Rainex....silicone wipers are not that important to me but I certainly would like my wipers to sit flush with the screen at rest.
