twopointnine Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 My 987.2 Cayman is probably due for new wiper blades, it’s a 2011 car and may still be fitted with the originals. I could just replace them with Porsche items but I’ve been quite impressed with the ‘aero’ style blades fitted to my Audi - has anyone fitted ‘aero’ style blades to their Cayman, if so what brand did you use and are you pleased with them? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I was under the impression that the wiper blades are made by Bosch? Don't think Porsche actually make them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I just used Bosch ‘old style’ ones bought from wiperblades.co.uk. Not used aero style on the cayman, but have used Valeo and Bosch aftermarket aero style (also from wiperblades.co.uk) on the family bus, which have worked very well.

Liongolfer Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I've switched to PIAA silicon blades. A bit of judder in light rain. Uses the original housing. Edited April 1, 2019 by Liongolfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Passenger side is curved, so when you use a normal straight blade it would hit the trim unless you move your wiper arm up a bit? GSF car parts do the original spec ones with the curve for £24.84 on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-Cayman-2005-2016-987-Bosch-Wiper-Blade-Set-Windscreen-Replacement/302065126307?fits=Car+Make%3APorsche|Model%3ACayman|Plat_Gen%3A987&epid=22026453818&hash=item46547c0ba3:g:oOAAAOSwHgdav6Kz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopointnine Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks for your replies chaps. I think it would irritate me if there was any juddering so that may rule out the silicon blades. I hadn’t realised that one was curved so thanks for the tip on that and the eBay link. I think I’ll stick with Bosch. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavrik Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 IIRC... I got my Bosch wipers from GSF... As @GlosRich says the nearside wiper is slightly more curved (due to the design of the windscreeen) I do believe that Halfrauds sell them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 The Bosch set for the cayman from wiperblades.co.uk includes the shorter curved one for the passenger side 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
