Title: areo wiper blade conversion HELP!
Post by: louis_23 on 15 July 2009, 01:10

Hi all, a quick question when putting these flat wiper type blades on a mk3 do you have to change the wiper arms? or do you just buy flat blades that have been adapted to fit a golf mk3?  thanx  :cool:

No you can't retro fit the mk4 blades. You can pick up an aero kit from vw or the bay :)

The genuine VW ones take about 5mins to fit, they are easy.

I would say do yourself a favour and go Europarts and buy the Bosch retrofit.  Ok, its going to set you back £18 but they are a straight fit, and by far superior to any other wiper I have tried.

I found the cheap aero wipers on my mates mk2 golf to be absolutely awful...

What he said, I got the Bosch ones too, had them on for several months now and still going strong, silent even when used on the highest wiper speed. And clear the screen no problems :)
