fabia wiper cap, looks wrong

[m.r.davies]

i had the hatch one and it didn't have the hole for the jet, but this new one doesn't have the arc to complete the join

anyone elses look like that?

 

[MarkE]

Yup, that's what they look like.

Only other option is to use the other type of cap a Dremel a slot in it for the jet.

Did you get the estate cover (with the slot for water jet) and the arm from the hatchback?
Here is a pic of mine

yep thats exactly what i got,

i've still got the hatchback cap, might dig out the dremel

 

[lofer]

Mines the same

 

[Pabs]

it's not how it looks - it's how you use it

It works 100% better than standard (well mine does) so thats all that matters to me!

 

[m.r.davies]

works well, although i had the old (wrong) cap on for so long that now the rear squirter doesn't work too well

might have to stick a pin down it to clear it

so let me get this right you have to get the estate cover part with the slot for water jet and the arm part from the hatchback?

are those part numbers in the sticky ok?

I got the estate arm/blade and the cover from the hatchback!

Works fine but there is a bit of a gap between the cover and the arm....

No it's the other way round. You need the Estate wiper arm and wiper blade, and the hatchback cover. And yes the part numbers are right in the sticky.

 

[m.r.davies]

part no's are wrong i think, have a look,

these are the correct ones just taken off my invoice

Cap: 6y 69 55 435 (fab hatch)
Arm: 6y 99 55 707A (fab estate)
Blade: 6y 09 55 425

i did try telling people that the hatchback cover didn't match up with the estate arm, but no-one believed me

i just got the estate arm, which is apparantly shorter, but again no-one could tell me by how much, or post a pic

That is the guide, with pics - that I wrote a couple of years ago.
The part numbers on my guide were the ones that I ORDERED, they were the ones that I received from Skoda, and they are the ones I have fitted and they work.

People keep reporting to me that the part numbers are wrong or have changed - which is why I have given up trying to confirm one way or the other.

mine looks like this one...

estate arm
estate blade
hatchback cover......

the estate wiper is approx an inch shorter (or maybe tad less) than the standard Leon wiper.

 

[rich RS]

The numbers that are Pabs guide are correct: 6y9 955 707a - wiper arm (estate), 6y0 955 425 - wiper blade, 6y6 955 435 - cap (hatchback)

The Fabia estate wiper arm is about an 1" also shorter than the OE Leon one, and the Fabia hatchback wiper arm is about 2" also shorther than the OE Leon one.

I hope that helps people!

 

[ikhlaq206]
