OEM Aero Wipers from model other than MK4 Golf?

[ChrisGTL]

Got mine fitted this weekend too, must remember to buy some more junior hacksaw blades now.

The Bosch ones are much better than the last ones that I got, completely streak free now!!

I've currently got aero wiper blades on std arms which are a great improvement,apart from looks are these arms a big improvement on std ?

Seen a pair for £50 but need new blades

 

[LEE69]

That's dear as the blades are £20 +

I bought new arms and blades for £99

 

[Brettyboy]

That's dear as the blades are £20 +

Thats how much they sell for now Lee

Bit random but when I cut my passenger blade down to size I didn't glue the end bit down and have subsequently lost it and the blade keeps slipping out - don't suppose anyone has a old/spare one lying about?

I know ppl use 19" on passenger side but would an 18" do the trick,if they do them in 18" that is ?

Bosch do a 18'' for the passenger side, I bought one from halfords the other day.

 

[icestorm81]

What about these Iv found for the passenger side, we won't need to keep cutting them down to size.

I've also seen 17" ones on the bay but depends whether they would fit the Golf Aero arms?

Anyone know what type of fitment they are?

Would mean a lot less hassle when replacing blades (or in my case not having one blade pointing at the passenger

 

[LEE69]

Depends if they are offset or central i think.
I saw a golf with these on and they seem to have loads of room after the edge of the blade, I know we have the trim but i accounted for that

I am going to get the above 17 inch wiper from the link above. I will let you guys know if it fits.

Hi Calum,



Thank you for your email.



The WB-2 fitment is designed to fit the face lift Mk4 Golf as it has the side pin wiper arms.



Kind regards

Awesome mate, cheers for that! So should just be a straight swap then!

 

[domin8or]

Site also does an 18" version,but don't know if this would still be to big as centre pin so only 1/2" of each end ?

 

[domin8or]

The 18" or 19" or 17" is not the important part of this !!
I have just received a set of the Golf Mk4 Aero arms & blades and have measured the length & pivot point the distance from fixing pin/pivot to r/h/s of passenger blade on the standard Golf 19" blade is only 8 1/4" so obviously not centred,so unless smaller blades are off centred,this would not really solve problem.
I shall try and find out if the 18 & 17" blades are off or dead centre fitting.
