Appreciate the help guys and sorry if im being a tool!!!! worst of it is thought il put the old ones back and now the metal groove is worn haha DOH!!
-
AFAIK you cant fit MK5 front wiper arms!? :huh:
-
are you sure they arent m4 aero arms??? like Rich says, dont think you can fit mk5 ones....
if so you need to adjust them so when they are off they both sit lower i.e nearer the scuttle.... Although that drivers side does look a little long....?
-
Yes they may be m4 aero arms the guy said they were off a polo i think but they were meant to fit? I cant see a way to adjust them?
-
got them on wrong sides

where they sit on the linkage, the two grooved parts, you need to take the arms off and rotate the arms clockwise a few grooves (quite a few)
no idea if ones from a polo fit though..... i would have thought if they bolted on ok you'd be fine after adjusting them as surely a polo screen is a lot shorter.
lol or as jock said, maybe you hae them on the wrong side?????
-
edit, i forgot you can change the whole arm haha.
-
Cheers jock il give it a go tomorrow
-
the more i look the worse they look..... they aren't right at all..... disregard adjusting them, I dont think that would solve sh!t..... :lipsrsealed:
-
think jock is right and im a cock and have put them the wrong way lol
