WIPERS

  Once again, I tried to get the correct parts and everyone went errr huh? So heres my research that began over a year ago.
Part numbers are for Commercial vehicles only unless otherwise specified. Deluxes had different numbers which just specified a different color.
Also, Commercial buses used black (aka schwarz) while deluxes used Silver (aka Silber)
If you have any additional information on this, please let me know

211 955 401a up to march 55	270MM long The infamous "Barndoor blades". The blade swivel heads were squarish and the rivet was open end. A setscrew was used to secure the head to wiper arm. 3 pieces of rubber were crushed together to make this blade. There hasn't been a 'movement grommet' on any NOS barndoor sets that I have seen. (see below for grommet information)
march 55 => 1960	One piece blades/arms (non removable) up to chassis 579 XXX   (early feb 0f 1960)
1960 =>1965 211 955 427	270MM long Wipers still had 3 pieces of rubber crushed together to make the assembly. Head swivel of blade was enlarged to a sort of bubble shape, and the setscrew  was discontinued in place of a flat head screw. Rivet is now close end. SWF added an orange saddle   'movement grommet' that helped keep the blade from flopping around in the head.
1965=>on up 211 955 425 B/C (deluxe p/n)	275MM long Notice the tag says "silber" cause silver is the only later ones I have found. Black or "schwarz" would be correct for commercial buses.. Note the new "christmas tree" shape of the rubber. Grommet saddle on this one is clear. Bag also had part number of "211 955 425 B/C" stamped on it.

Arms and bases coming soon!
