Searched for this too many times, for me, and others

The nut is a NN362C

In short nearly all Mits running alloys use the same washer style nut. Later models like lancer and 380 use a domed cap where older models use a square cap. You would be surprised at the amount of sets I have sold

Wiper blades.

Remember when you buy wiper blade refills, driver's side takes the wider blade (8.5mm), passenger side a narrow refill (6.5mm). Why on earth they did this we will never know.

I found this out the hard way.

And the driver's side refill needs to be 24 inchs. 22 inch is a common length but too short.

Only an issue if you're running stock wiper arms of course... I think it's recommended that the wiper arms get replaced every 5 years or something, so you should be on a new set by now... or buy Aerotwins or something similar instead

cant find the right thread as i type this, but was cruising the forums over the weekend re phone compatibility with the OEM Parrot BT in the 380's..

anyway, this week i replaced my aging old nokia and i am happy to report my new Nokia Lumia 920 Windows 8 Phone pairs no worries with the Parrot V3.2 in my 2007 vrx 380.

If there's a BT - Phone compatibility thread, i guess this needs to go there

It is an "ISO file", and somewhat tricky to open/read, if you are unfamiliar with these sort of things- like I am.

PM me if necessary.
