I was wondering if the RD2 wiper arms are the same as RD1.
Mine are rusting again, and I dont feel like sandblasting them, and repainting!!
I did that once already and its more work then to just get newer ones from a junkyard.
So this is why im wondering if they are they same,
so my chances of finding them in a junk yard are better.

97 had the spoiler also, I just took one off of ABQELANTRA's RD.
I have a 01 and it didn't have the spoiler, and the wiper arms are the same as the 97.

OK x7xstring, I just checked.
They are identical from 98 on for the driver's side and the passenger side is identical for all years.
And ONLY the 97's had the wing on the driver's wiper arm, which will fit too, but I'd just get the GK blades with the wing built onto the blade if you really wanted that.
