Jago Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Morning All, On the search for a pair of front wiper blades for the 981 Cayman, Do you know which set it is ? I've come across various sets that are suggested on the net that are correct, but I don't want to buy the wrong ones. sets i've found are as follows: A698S - got a feeling this set if for RHD cars AM980S A697S - Got a feeling this set is for LHD cars... Not with the car at the moment either to check ! Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey P Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 A quick search on Amazon using my number plate brings up these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-397-007-697-Wiper/dp/B00F405PEW/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&hvadid=80882871337665&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=c&hvqmt=p&keywords=car+wipers+bosch&pid=TCJhQBC&qid=1622024502&sr=1-1&vehicle=92-11490-10864-57364-1-1&vehicleName=Porsche+Cayman+Coupe+2.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most other retailers are around that mark ! 8 minutes ago, Graham W said: I ordered mine from GSF. Just give them your Reg. No. and Roberts your aunties husband😉. Coming in at £30 a blade... think I'm going to gamble with the Amazon special first.... 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailslides Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Got my set of A698S for £20.99 which is a bargain I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartin Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Aren't these the same? Showing as £19.40 at Design911 but not sure how much delivery is. https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod143576/Wiper-blade-set--Front-Porsche-991---Boxster---Cayman--RHD-Cars-/ Also have the genuine Porsche ones for just over £50, but aren't the Bosch ones exactly the same, just don't come in a Porsche branded box?

Jago Posted June 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 ended up going with these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00L7Z6D9Y/?coliid=I33X2WAQ11YTJC&colid=13VTOBBN0NBVO&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00L7Z69RU/?coliid=I279GQD5DVNTIC&colid=13VTOBBN0NBVO&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Individually cheaper than the twin pack 🤦♂️ work a treat !

I must admit the arm sits ever so slightly higher on the mounting point to the blade than before... and the subtle difference is the plastic adaptor on the mounting bracket of the blade (on the original) had a cutout that the aero fin/ridge on the top/back of the wiper sat in (which probably made it sit lower). does it clear rain from the windscreen? yes so I'm happy !

Madlil Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 I find my Bosch wipers judder after just a few months of very limited use, and I clean them regularly. Are there any better alternatives that anyone uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when companies show their prices ex VAT! You think you've found a bargain and then they slap another 20% on when you get to the order page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
