355 Wiper Blades

Good morning

What are the best replacement wiper blades for a 1998 355? Is the a Bosch replacement for just the blade.

Thanks

 

I recall I had a few issues finding blades for my ‘98. Do a search of this forum. Is your car LHD or RHD? Do both wipers have spoilers or just one? The ones with the spoilers can be expensive. The Bosch 500S may be one of the wiper blades.

Check the lengths of the rubber inserts (they may be different lengths).
Some folks say you can just buy the rubber inserts, others have had to buy the blade and swap over the rubber insert.

Where are you located?

 

Good morning
It's a right hand drive. I was hoping to just replace the rubber inserts. I was hoping someone could tell me the Bosch numbers for both sides.
Thanks

 

Perry -- we just spoke on the phone. Unless I missed something in our conversation, I assume you are actually in the USA and have a left hand drive F355.

(LHD and RHD are from the visual perspective of standing behind the vehicle in the Ferrari/Maserati parts schema)

 

Correct LHD. I responded too quickly. Thanks for catching that!

 

Hi,
I have fitted Bosch 347S to my F355 Spider (LHD). It is plug and play fitting and these wipers have a spoiler.
Regards, Thomas

 

In the "old days" you just bought new inserts for a few dollars and spent a little time installing them. Now wiper blades are $20+ and you throw away perfectly good arms creating more waste. Not to mention dealing with all kinds of various connectors. Progress isnt always good for the consumer.
