Not trying to hijack this thread, but I recently replaced the wiper blades on my 2001 Boxster S. I almost bought a set of 22" Bosch blades from my local Advanced Auto but decided to see if I could find a deal for the Porsche factory blades.
Although the factory blades are Bosch there is a difference!
The factory blades are different from side to side! The passenger side blade is curved! The driver side blade has a black plastic thing on one side.
Search ebay for 996 628 901 08 and you'll see what I mean. From what I see on my Boxster, that curved blade on the passenger side really makes a difference.
I bought my blades on ebay from a seller named jdmpartsman714 for $31.95 for the pair. They arrived in a yellow Bosch retail box. I see several other sellers selling what appears to be the same thing for around the same price.
In my case this actually worked out cheaper than buying two of the generic Bosch blades at Advanced.
Hope this helps.
