Wiper arm question.

Was looking at a Crown Vic at work last night. A 2009. Those wiper arms aint gonna work. They're very similar to what we already have. I think I'm just gonna order some new ones, put them on, and paint the ones I have to have them for later.

Did somebody say the double link pivoting arm on the driver's side is only on Sports? Not sure about that but I think it is done to achieve a higher ratio of "swept area", and as I recall the OEM setup used a longer blade on one side for the same reason. A cautionary warning: Don't stop the wipers in mid stroke and prop them up if it might snow. They will get stuck in that position, and when you turn on the ignition switch the wiper motor will try to return to Parked position regardless of wiper switch being turned off. Motor may go up in smoke.

The arms are the same on all models I've had. Either that or i have the coolest wiper arms ever fitted to a gs model.

Arms are the same on my Cougar as well as my Mark VII.

They both have the secondary arm for the driver side wiper.

I never said it was a Sport only thing...all of my '88 cars have had it. I'd highly imagine the '87 cars were like that, and likely the older ones as well, though I just can't remember.
