Title: Changing the Rear Windscreen Wiper
Post by: D4veo MK4 on 19 January 2006, 16:24

I am thinking about changing the rear wiper to the one from a Skoda. I'm just unsure about which model Skoda it is from?

Is it easy to do and Where would i be able to get one from?

Thanks for the help! :smiley:

Go for a skoda fabia one or a polo aero wiper they are easy to fit and are available from the espective dealerships, my skoda one was £16 all in for the arm, blade and bolt cover :wink:

go for the fabia one.. especially if you have a roof spoiler. i believe the polo ones need trimming because they hit the spoiler at the top of the arc.

Thanks lads. Im going to have to pop to my local Skoda dealer in Newport now and get one.

£16 is a good price for all that  :smiley:

Cheers

I believe that you will find it is the other way around, the skoda one hits the spoiler :sad:..  OMG the mighty topher makes a mistake :grin:

I get discount at newport skoda if you want I can get it.  You need 3 parts - Arm, blade and cap

LOL mate, i never known you get something wrong before :embarassed:
I got the skoda one and the actual arm cover bit sweeps past the top of the window, I have seen them shortened and plastic welded back together, not worth the hassle IMO

Cause if you ain't got a spoiler then it wont hit it :undecided:, plus the skoda one looks better IMHO :wink:
