I read on http://cleanflametrap.com/wiper.html that the later cars had longer arms, but will it still work? my linkage on my 1980 is a bit crusty feeling.
thanks

Yes.
Arms are actually the same length when in use, but use the hook attachment, instead of the tab that slides in, so they are longer, but the extra length is folded underneath. The blades are longer on 1991-93 cars (17" instead of 16"), but the later blades do work on the earlier cars, even if the older style windshield moulding is present.
Essentially, you're just going from the 1980 setup to the 1981 setup.

The only thing I remember being significantly different is the length of the drive housings. I figured that picture comparing the cowl changes 86 was what OP referred to. And what about the arm attachment?

I have to trim 1/2" of the passenger side blade's rubber to run 16's on my 82 or it hits the windshield seal.
that was kinda my concern, will the drives stick out to far from the cowl making it not function properly or look odd?
My compliments on the roses.
Didn't realize Washington was one of those fascist States that force the front plate (tag) to be displayed. Nice solution.
