Window wipers!!

[KFC91]

Hey guys, is it true that you have to order rear window wipers from seat...because im in need and i thought that seemed odd?! no? cheers

 

[jack_FR]

ummm, i don't really know i'm afraid as I've not had to replace mine yet! Do you want the whole blade or has the rubber just split?

Because you could just buy a length of the rubber wiper from halFRAUDS and cut it to size?? ALOT cheaper then new wiper blade everytime?!

The Polo rear wiper is £14... it's style over functionality tho! Didn't give the best wipe, but then my current one doesn't either!

I have no idea...i think its the whole blade i need, got my front ones from halfords and they told me i needed to order rear ones from Seat.

if the AV pic is your actual car, looks like its a pre-facelift model and therefore likely to have the metal hook arm design and there for all you need is any 13 inch wiper or rubber blade. I'm not sure about the facelift wiper that has the plastic arm.

I went to ebay and got a retrofit flat blade wiper, about a fiver or a couple pounds more.

I had a retrofit aero 13" on mine for a while and it worked well, but now I have a skoda fabia arm and blade on it. The polo one fits straight on too and as said are a few quid from ebay... both nice little mods!

I had to order one from seat £6.00.

I got a rear one form Halfords, it was listed in their book thing for the Ibiza. I got a Bosch one, it fits fine when the wiper is in the off position but as it moves round the bottom of the blade touches the wiper arm and makes the top edge of the blade lifts as it wipes so misses the top of the rear window.

Halfords told me they don't do one. Thats why i went to seat dealer.

the people in halfords dont know all, clearly...

the facelift wiper is exactly the same, it just has a fancy cover on it. No more effective than pre facelift lol

Not with my experience of them anyway...

I prefere to use my local autofactors whom always know what they are talking about and are good to have a chat to about cars ect. Plus they are always happy to give advice.

Halfords do sell them, they are £2.0something on trade
