⚠️ Critical Fitment Warning: Like its companion turn signal stalk (103 425), this wiper arm switch fits early-spec vintage dashboards uniquely. It features the slim stalk body profile characteristic of pre-August 1989 models. It will NOT fit late-spec 1989–1992 vehicles featuring the broader stalks associated with the Central Electric 2 (CE2) update, nor will it support cars factory-optioned with the multi-function computer (MFA) instrumentation.
