I have just needed to replace my wiper motor as it was getting too slow. I chose to purchase a 125 degree 32 tooth system from SVC which as it happened was also what was already in there. However I have now noticed that there is a slight gap between the two sweeps ( don't know why I didn't see it before ) so wonder if a 130 degree would have been a tad better. Its a bit difficult to decide if another 5 degrees would be too much.
