One of the members a while back was making wiper adapters for people who have the odd 2-hole bayonet wiper arms, so other wipers could be used (example: mine is an 86 XT GL). Does anyone have the details on this? Thanks again!

I think grossgary has made some at one time. Not positive though. All of mine have had them on there when i got them.

I think AANCO makes one that fits the XTs (FYI, The XTs use a very unique spacing for those 2 screws).

 

I made a neat Aluminum adapter once to use a RainX Latitude blade. But when I did, it never occurred to me to look into getting an OE blade. Now I know you can get the whole blade, with that bracket from Subaru (86542GA562), MSRP is $24.95, and you can order it online for less. I think I still have that adapter somewhere....I never even tried to look for it, I just put a new OE one on my '6 when I put it back in service this fall.

 

 

And those screws are less than $2 ea. 86564GA050. That was nice not to have to deal with the old ones that had been in and out many times.

Thanks for the info, Numbchux.  I may check Aanco to see if they have one, but it is nice to know that you can get them from Subaru - and we have a dealer here in town too.  Nice guys!  The older one always enjoys yakking about the cool XT's and their unique appearance.

Costco had Goodyear wipers, fits everything under the sun!! I have bayonet type on my Loyale and its wAs always crap shoot finding the right blade. Goodyear includes all adapters. Great blades

I found one once that had a two-hole adapter, but the spacing was all wrong, so thinking may just have to stick with OEM blades, which I can get, or perhaps try the Aamco ones.

ANCO 48-17 

Will the 22" wiper blades still work with that adapter, or would I go down to a smaller size?  ('86 XT GL single-wiper windshield)

 

I also wonder if the Trico B98999-146 Wiper Adapter will work as well.
