Aston Martin DB9 Windscreen Wipers, Aston Martin change the wipers on the DB9 in 2012, the new style was designed to work with the new flat blades, it is a more rigid system that wipes the screen better and also produces less wind noise. It also makes the car look more modern.

Wipers


Conventional windscreen wipers have a metal or metal plastic composite structure comprising a central bridge and articulated links that provides between 4 and 8 pressure points, depending on the length of the blade. Spring flexors distribute the force generated by the wiper arm spring via the wiper bridge and links and flexors to the rubber element for a uniform pressure on the glass.
Options for conventional windscreen wipers include a spoiler for the drivers’ side, spray bar pods for vehicles that have their windscreen washer jets attached to the wiper blade and curved passengers’ side blades for vehicles with very rounded windscreens.
Flat or Blade windscreen wipers
Increasingly, new cars are now equipped with flat windscreen wipers.
Flat windscreen wipers feature tensioned metal flexors supporting the rubber element with a full length integrated spoiler to use the pressure generated by the air flow. This allows for a flatter aerodynamic shape that reduces wind noise. The flexors form the blade profile that exactly matches the windscreen, guarantees uniform pressure all along the contact edge. It is also more discreet than a conventional windscreen wiper, so blocks less of the drivers’ field of vision.

|I fitted the later type of wiper arms with modern blade wipers to my 2006 DB9 and then got them hydro-dipped in Carbon Fibre to match lots of other parts on the car.

Is this straight forward to replace? And can I use the old blades by taking the hook out of the middle?
Yes, very straightforward.
It’s designed for the newer style blades, like Bosch Aerotwin which work more effectively and look better – not sure why you’d want to use the old style and I don’t know if they would fit.
Hi Paul, I have just fitted my Vantage wipers. They look incredible. 🙂
Hi Allen,
Glad you are happy with them – did you get them hydro dipped? Any photos?
Hi Paul,
I have just got some second hand ones from Ebay. Who did you use to hydro-dip the wipers?
Hi,
I used Paul’s Customs in Kent

Thank Paul –
Took the car out today after a few months, but got these errors when I got home:
DB9 warnings:
Emergency brake assist failure
Traction control temporary off
Brake failure stop safely
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi
All these can be caused by a low battery or an ABS sensor on the way out.
Do you have a code reader, getting the code will narrow it down hugely.

Hi Paul,
ABS Modulator error .
Plugged in the diagnostics and got this error 0050 detection of Brake control module interface (Radio frequency interference)
All ABS sensors on wheels are showing connectivity.
Any suggestions?
