Interesting observation.... (1 Viewer)

[Ghostrider I]

I ordered OEM Toyota the plastic covers that go over the wiper arm where it meets the bolt for the HDJ-80. It was a bugger to put on, and I couldn't figure out why. Went over to the FJ-80, and popped off that cover off and replaced it with the cover that I was trying to put on the HDJ. It fit without any hassle. Turns out that the pivot point where the arm retracts away from the windshield is WIDER on the HDJ. Really?!?!?!? I know that there can be major differences between European spec and North American spec vehicles, but this is a bit much.

Hopefully, PartSouq will have the right covers.

Cheers y'all.

Yeah, these differ on 90-92 models and 92-97 ones. There's no difference between European or Japanese or American specs, but only between "older" and "newer" models.
85261-90K01 are for 90-92
85292-60020 for 92+
Hope that'll help someone.
