Windscreen Wipers SW20

Hi guys, got annoyed today with my wipers and decided to buy new ones to stop the jumping and squeaking. I got Trico Tech Blades with the integrated spoiler and the passenger side didn't fit or curve to the glass at the edges, it needed more weight on it. So I returned it.
 
I'm wondering what wiper arms are you using, since I'm worried if I replace the driver side without the wind deflector on it, the wiper will just fly off at high speed.

    Tridon flex blades have a pretty tight arc on them so should suit the shape of the windscreen much better.  I have used these before, not on an mr2 though, and they were sweet.

    I bought some bosch wiper arms code# AR531S. No trouble yet on freeways (130kms+), etc in regards to the wind deflector.
     
    Wanted to get rid of the old school/traditional arm wipers.

    I know this is an old thread, but I need new wiper blades. The stock wiper arms on my 91 turbo import have two screws that hold the blades in place. I gather this is an older style and later model MR2's have the more standard hook end wiper arms.
    Is it a simple swap old model for new wiper arm?
    SX_Corolla - where did you get your Bosch wiper arms from?  I can't find any wiper arms on the Bosch Australia website!

    It should be there in the catalogue last time I checked? Otherwise local SCA/Repco/Autobarn should have it or order for you. I got my "aerodynamic" ones from eBay (UK seller) like $11 per side but had to do some cutting on the hinge for it to fit. Mine is import 1990. Maybe cos I didn't bother unscrewing it screws lol
    Bosch is pricey but I will prob go Bosch next time for quality as my eBay ones are mediocre (bad contact on the driver side).

    I have Bosch ones from SCA & they're fine. Use a nice window cleaner too.

    Honestly though, not even close to a new car, but quite acceptable.
