Default 1989 Windshield Wipers

I came over from the C3 side to ask about windshield wipers for an 89. It's a friends car and he said he can't find them anywhere. The ones he's seen don't fit under the HOOD. Are they special for that car? I don't know anything about the C4's.

Try an exact fit from any local auto parts store and maybe even Walmart. I think the size is 60-020-2. I had to use low profile blades for mine. But you probably need an exact fit for the 89 because its setup a little different. You could also try HERE

I just replaced the wipers on my 95 last weekend and used RainX 20 inchers which turns out were the same as already on it. I choose the RainX because I had used them on my 91 with no issue with clearance.

He tried the local parts store and they just don't clear the hood.

If he tried the exact fits at local stores then I would definitely try the website I linked. Heard alot of success from there.
