As there was no Skoda dearler on the south coast, I had the Touran one from Vagparts and have found that it kept juddering. I now have the Fabia wiper as there is a new Skoda Service place has opened in Hove. I can report that the Fabia wiper is better than the Touran one and is the same length aswell :thumbup:
 
here's a pic of the fabia hatchback arm.

Removing the cover

Hi,

How the hell do I get the original wiper cover off? [:@]

I can't see a nut or clip or anything on there! Just seems to be a piece of moulded plastic.

I reckon removing the arm etc. will be the easier part, I've been staring at the cover so long now the nieghbours must think i'm odd.
 
Pabs guide has got in down to a T!

Check the infobase on the home page then the LeonCupra guides.

You just need to pull the plastic bit off, dosent matter if you break it, youve got a replacement one to go on.
 
Yep just give it a good tug up from the left hand side. It should just lift up letting you get to the nut underneath.
 
sweet.

cheers guys. Looks like brute force and ignorance leads the way! :p
 
And you Pabs.

Your guides have proved unbeatable in getting these mods done. :thumbup:
