The aero blades can be bought to fit the regular "hook" arms.

Hi all,

I need to replace my rear wiper but it seems it's not the standard one? Shorter than the normal wiper and the blade is just attached to the arm with no bracing. Any ideas what it might be from as I need to know to get a new blade!

Thanks

golf or touran

lee did you get them from a ebay seller, i followed a link you posted to a seller, got them, look the same as yours....

fitted them, did you find the drivers side rubs the window?

mine does,

 

[LEE69]

For the aero arms?
If so i returned them as the passenger side never had the offset pin, so they never fitted even though they were a "direct fit" lol.

How do you mean "rubs the window"?

 

[james walker]

top ones mate, hook aeros.

you know it makes that rubbing noise when they are in use, bastid to fit aswell, well with no instructions they were.

 

[LEE69]

No i never had a problem with them mate, good wipers, just sat to high for my liking ( as in the pictures above)

 

[james walker]

oh well, just leaves a slight smear on the window.

 

[LEE69]

Tried cleaning the wiper and windscreen with vinegar?

 

[james walker]

nope but will give that one a go, she does need cleaning tbh, been on hols and havent had time, bloody filthy at the minute

 

[lordgibbness]

Yeah will probably be fine with a good clean.

Lately when I've been polishing my car I've started polishing my windscreen too - even though the Mer bottle says not too - but I've found that as long as I remove all the polish properly the results are just brilliant - the rain streams off the window and no need for wipers if you drive fast enough!

Which Mk Golf can you do a direct arm swap with? Mk5??

 

[LEE69]

mk4

i've got the aero wipers with standard hook arm

i had the arms up when cleaning the car one day
jet wash caught arm/wiper blade and it fell back into place

however, there is a little metal bit on the wiper blade (in the centre) and that made contact with the windscreen....

...... HUGE CRACK!

ooops, time for a new wind screen

be careful if you do get them!

Exact same happened to me!

 

[m.r.davies]

Exact same happened to me!

really!

I contacted them and complained (via wiperblades website), they said it was the first they had heard of this and told me to F off when i asked them to pay my windscreen excess!

Nice

If you think that it is a design fault then you should probably raise this with Bosch. I haven't noticed this before - will check the blade as to your description when I get a chance.
