Fabia wiper coversion

[richellis]

the fabia wiper dose look good. i ordered mine from the Skoda garage in cannock. Pulled up in my leon, and the parts bloke knew exactly what I needed!

 

[MrBen2k7]

[R69]

Man I forgot just how bad the OE one looked!
To think I used to drive round with that on

 

[MrBen2k7]

lol, yeh, they do look horrid... that and they judder... and make a stoooopid noise

 

[Pacey]

Do you have to have the cap?? and also will the normal fabia arm and blade fit ok? or do you need the estate one? as the bloke at my local skoda garage was USELESS!!!!

 

[MrBen2k7]

You ideally need the Estate arm, and hatch back cover.

 

[Pacey]

.Oh no looks like I just wasted my money will try later and see what happens :-s

 

[MrBen2k7]

why, what did you buy? It might be ok... the hatch arm is ok, its not not quite long enough... I personally have the Hatch version, and its fine!

 

[Pacey]

i have the hatch arm and hatch blade and thats it??

 

[MrBen2k7]

oh, you need the cover?

Get the Hatch one...

 

[MrBen2k7]

[MrBen2k7]

6Y6955707A – Fabia Estate Wiper Arm
6Y0955425 – Fabia Estate Wiper Blade
6Y6955435 – Fabia Hatchback Wiper Cover

 

[MrBen2k7]

the wiper cover off your current (standard) wiper might fit if you can get it off without breaking it.

 

[Pacey]

Thanks Ben will sort it out tomorrow and see how it goes, got the cover on order coming tomorrow anyway so may have a spair lol

 

[MrBen2k7]

no problemo... just so you know... you'll need a 13mm wrench to get the existing one off...

If i was you, i'd use a socket wrench or you'll do what I did and render the existing nut useless..... don't use and adjustable spanner... they are useles...

WD-40 might be handy also...

Just got the Touran rear wiper off ebay £28.48 later lol

rookie error... the Touran one is inferior to the Fabia one! In my 'expert' opinion anyway lol.

The Touran one is the same one you get on the Fabia RS also...

 

[MarkWales]

going to get one this weekend hopefully as i have smashed the cap off the standard one
