Hi Mirek,
The roadster arms are indeed quite different than the convertible arms.
The pre-BJ7 arms have a leaf spring and they are straight (blades are
parallel to the arms), with a J-shaped insert into the blade. BJ7 and
BJ8 arms have a coil spring and have a straight push into the blade. The
BJ7/8 arms are are bent at the ends so the blades park along the bottom
windshield rubber. There was a difference also between BJ7 and BJ8 arms
in that the BJ7 arms were not able to sit up off the windshield by
themselves when lifted, but the BJ8 arms stayed upright.
Best,
Peter
