about replacing the wipers

I ordered replacement wipers from Design911 and was sent two identical Bosch blades.

However, the set currently on the car (also Bosch) has a driver’s side blade with an aero lip, while the passenger side does not.

Design911 were not aware of any aero-specific version, although I am fairly sure they supplied me with the correct type a few years ago.

I suspect someone here may know the correct spec or part number — any guidance much appreciated!

I did the same recently but rather than mess around I I clipped the spoiler from the old wiper and put it on the new one ! Very easy to do😊
 
Well mine were Bosch and just clipped out ! I have a spoiler on each blade now ! Looks good and better rain clearance 🤓
 
Just looking at my photos again and I can see that my aero is part of the 'blade housing' so the only way that I can see to keep it would be to replace the actual rubber (and it's metal strips) ..which is not very appealing. Seems odd that Bosch would make this a few years ago but no more..?
 
I fit larger blades than Porsche reccomends...IIRC 19" on the front and 21" on the rear. You only need the aerofoil on the drivers side.

+1 for the larger size blades. Think I have 19"s on the front and 21" rear. Fronts are Bosch retro fit aero blades, no spoilers, work great.
