Just wanted to know is this the right one for upgrading my rear wiper to an Aero MK5 set up?
Is it easy to fit and I wont have any problems with the washer jet is it?
Also are these both the same?

I was recommended some regulars off this forum to also fit aero wipers for the front.
Were they talkin about just the blades that is:

Or were they talking bout changing the whole thing including the arms?
your second link will be fine and its approx that price from vw
those wiper blades are retro fit that use your existing arms they look okay but you want the real thing

l/h aero wiper arm 1J2 955 409 D
l/h aero wiper blade 1J2 955 425 B
r/h aero wiper blade 1J0 955 426 B
but you will be looking at approx £100 for all these parts unless you can find some at a breakers you will need to look for a 03 plate onwards  :wink:





I dont want to change the arms on the front wipers as I have rain sensors on the arms on my current wipers and the sensor is a little yellow circle on the arm.do you know if the aero ones come with that?

They aren't rain sensors... They are just wear markers on the wipers. When the symbol has faded it indicates that the wipers life cycle is coming to an end and should be replaced.

as scott has said just a wear indicator so you can gauge when replacement is needed i have the genuine vw aero set up but the wiper blades dont have the wear indicator on them although the aeroset that i had initially(lh ones thanks to vw had these on) :huh:
