Folks, I'd just like to confirm that the passenger windscreen wiper brush on a right hand drive car has no spoiler. My current wiper brush/blade is damaged. I saw no identification other than "BOSCH". On the Ricambi site, I see there are two kinds of driver's side wiper brushes (one for right hand drive ("GD")) and one for left hand drive), but only one type for the passenger side (P/N 67546700). Only one type of brush is pictured (one with a spoiler). Ref Item 27: WINDSHIELD WIPER AND CONTROLS - Ricambi America, Inc. Looking at the Superformance site, however, the "without spoiler" P/N is 67546800. Body Fittings for Ferrari 355 - Superformance A little confusing. Thanks! Best wishes Ian.
Hi Ian, The spoiler is on the driver's blade, not passenger. I seem to recall discussing this with Elliott recently and the Superformane description may be wrong. What I have been able to determine is early 95's has 348 wiper arms so 348 wipers are needed. I can dig up my old findings if you need.
Thanks, Dave. Don't worry, I should be ok now. I have a '98 model, so I shouldn't have a problem getting the right part (knowing it hasn't got a spoiler) Cheers Ian.
Yay! Thanks... Good to know. So far I've seen three different part numbers for the spoilerless one. Ricambi: 67456700 Scuderia Car Parts & Eurospares: 64610100 Superformance: 67546800 (probably wrong)
Thanks, Elliott. It would have been a whole lot easier if I had ordered one of each (that would have ensured I received the right part). I see some other sites also list the spoiler-less part as 67546800 (but most show this as the driver's side with spoiler). Hopefully Superformance can clarify this issue for me.
Folks, would anyone be able to confirm that the driver and passenger wipers are supposed to be different lengths on the F355? Superformance just sent me a wiper which is too long (it's about the same size as the driver's wiper (i.e. 21 inches) and hits the window frame). I don't know what's going on here. Probably 25% of the items I buy from UK Ferrari parts dealers (any source) are either the wrong part or broken or the full order isn't sent (and you rarely get a refund on the postage costs) Thanks Cheers Ian. (EDIT) D'oh... I see Superformance have modified their website to show correct part number for the passenger (spoilerless) wiper brush. Unfortunately, too late for me. Unfortunately, also, the link I provided to the Superformance site now shows the correct part number, so this message thread won't make a lot of sense to readers.
Ian this will not help you now but i just took the rubber piece off and replaced. They matched it at pepboys.
It will help in the future, thanks, Grant. The current problem though was some strange unsightly score marks on the metal framework (which have been there since I bought the car). Looks like someone attacked the wiper assembly with a box cutter :-/ Cheers Ian.
