nope..... its where you rearrange the rear wiper arm mechanism so its stationary position is flat rather than across the window.

easiest mod you will ever do on ya mk2! i promise!

check out the mk2 maintenance guide. theres a good step by step guide in there with pretty pictures to help  :cool:

Ahh right, cool! I guess you just alter the position the wiper blade move lol

Well i'll hopefully be getting a mk2! white one! haha Id like a car thats more of a project as my mk4 is a 1.6 n doesnt have that much poke whereas a 1.6 mk2 id imagine has? being lighter and everything?

after repositioning the mechanism you can use the arm off a mk3 polo coupe (iirc) to make it sit more horizontal

yeah its a post in the garge section of the forum i saw it and within 10 mins i was in the garage and i layed that mutha down!!! easiest and cheapest mod ever! aso its pretty cool looking too! i dont think thers any need for a polo rear wiper arm or a mk3 arm as mine lays pretty flat anyway! if you did want to convert the wiper arm it would be lower than ya grannys tittys!

polo coupe one also has a washer jet on it and is a fair bit longer iirc, best wiper arm is from a fiat punto, nice n smooth  :cool:
