NAPA Wiper Blades - Stay away!!

[capthook]

Bought these cheap-ass NAPA wiper blade inserts, after 6 mo's they left fat, black streaks across my windshield. Another non-LR part that just doesn't do it's job on the Disco. Buy the real LR wipers. They work, and you won't waste your time washing rubber off your windshield. However I think the difference is rubber to silicone / and If you have found aftermarket's that work properly, would love to know about them since with the LR kit you don't just get the inserts, but an arm also. It's like $50 for both, but I guess it's worth it considering you won't be replacing them in friggin' 6 months time

If you go the silblade way, you have to get the wiper arms from a D1, then just get the wiper blades for the D1..... cheaper that way too.

Doesn't silblade finally have wipers for a D2 without having to switch to D1 arms? I thought i saw them somewhere for sale. I'll go looking, see if I can find them again.

So .... what I gather here is the Disco Series 1 front wiper arms will fit the Disco 2???? If they do, it will solve the "wiper lifting" problem I have.

Does it fit????????
