It is probably your screen that's the problem

give it a good clean with some dedicated window cleaner

If you're buying new blades then I'd either go for VW or Bosch (who I think supply VW OEM anyway!)

Nout wrong with OEM replacements imo, i'd start by giving both a damn good clean though as they're not cheap from the dealers... :sad:

Just replaced the front blades on my 2010 Mk6 - Bosh Areo somethings they were called. Cost a good about £30 something pounds but had them before on my previous MK5 GTI and were very very good. I was lazey and went to Halfords (yes I know I prob got ripped off but couldn't be bothered waiting for them to be posted etc etc).

Also in the past had a set from dealers which cost something like £70 for the front and rear blades.
