Thanks in advance.

Trico 20-2 are the blades you need. I just bought new ones last week on Amazon.

Yes Trico Exact Fit 19-2 (I prefer the 19 inch as the wiper blade almost slaps the windshield post). These wipers are the old style where you have to bend the wiper the opposite way so the hole will open up so they will slide on the wiper post. I had to order them from Advance Auto as they are never in stock.

Brian, you've been here for 15 years and haven't noticed that C4's are sensitive about their wiper blades? I like my Michelin's. Surprisingly, they are available at Home Depot and Wal-Mart. Try this link:

Been that long since I needed to replace them

Guess I got a good set

Another vote for Trico Tr-202. I just put some on my 90 coupe. Perfect fit Rock Auto had a big sale on them. Arrived in a NAPA sleeve. Not made in China!!!

OP - if you're shopping for the '95 in your sig from post#1 the suggested -2 by everyone isn't a "FIT" you need a -4 or maybe a -1 will do. I don't own a '95+ so I don't know.

I'd suggest the 20-4 maybe the -1 if it were on the shelf and a free "try". I've OE blades and I've purchased nothing but "inserts" for ever. If I had a '95+ car with after-market anything I'd buy the 20-4 only Exact Fit by Trico. The -4 I believe is a duplicate of the OE beam with only the larger 1/4" pin fit, the -1 might have the smaller and larger or the beam is different. An ACD 8-2204 is likely an exact also for '95+.

I've friends that run "shorter blades" - I've never seen the need. For the '95+ there may NOT be a shorter available without using adapters and experimenting with the fit.

Now if the arms aren't the correct '95+ arms or they ain't for the SIG in your original post then the -2 is a fit for all '94 and earlier.

I think the suggested by "HRR" would be hit/miss car to car regardless of year.

I tried 2 or 3 different sets/brands on mine that 'fell off' when attempting to use the wipers. I finally found some from NAPA that fit right, stay on and fit under the hood when off. I took it one step further and put a small wire tie around the wiper arm and through the opening in the blade to insure that they won't come off by accident again.

BrianCunningham

do the earlier cars have different arms?

Tried a Trico 20-2 and the hole was to small

1984-1994: Trico 20-2 or 19-2
1995-1996: Trico 20-4

What is the difference between the two other than length? In the package the 20-4 looks like it is a lower profile than the 19-2. Are they interchangeable? I not sute what is on mine but they arg hitting and chipped som paint on the hood.

WVZR-1

I've mentioned multiple times recently that a -2 does a '94 or earlier and a -4 is certainly the preferred for a '95+. A -1 MIGHT DO a '95+ but I doubt would do it well, a -1 is a "multi-fit" with a different beam.

A '94 and earlier has a near 3/16 pin on the arm and a '95+ has a near 1/4" pin on the arm. I've never seen a 19-4 (there could be but I've never looked). I would doubt it though.

scotth48

So a 20-4 could be drilled out to fit earlier c4? But once mouted which will have the lower profile?

WVZR-1

NO NO NO - you can't modify either to use for anything other than what it's intended

BrianCunningham

the 20-4 has BOTH sizes

WVZR-1

A correctly packaged 20-4 has only the larger pin diameter through the beam. The ACD 8-2204 should be the same.

I don't believe you can show me different.

I thought wipers were simple enough - maybe shouldn't have even thought! I like my insert purchases.

My wipers had both the 1/4" and 3/16's hole. I ordered in a60-020-2L from NAPA and they are defintely low profile. About half the height. As the other ones. I will try and get a picture posted. They are only drilled for the 3/16" hole. I don't see the plastic keeper in the box. Will nred to look at the instructions.

Did not need the plastic adapter. They just slipped on. Took pictures with my laptop so will try and post when I use it again.
