DAS HAPPIWAGEN Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hey, I have my MOT at 3.00 today and I need new wipers. I want to upgrade to the Aero style rubber blades. Do these fit straight on to my original wiper arms, or shall I just get standard ones just to get me through?Cheers, Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picola Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Tesco do them for 6 quid per blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I bought some Bosch from GSF but they don't look right, definitely not direct fit as they don't sit flush like the standard one's. Might just have to take a trip to VW for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperWeight1 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I've been through a few sets of supposed GTi ones, even checked they're not hook over with sellers.They've all sent them and all been wrong.Ended up buying mine from VW.

darkhorse1210 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 From memory I got mine from here.....but I only needed the driver's side, and they sent the passenger side (which I believe is shorter?) so be specific with them unless you are ordering a pair of course and they should be finehttp://www.flat-wiper-blades.co.uk/epages/pronghorn6909.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/pronghorn6909/Categories/Volkswagen/LUPO_GTI_2000__2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusl Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 i got front and rear ones, clipped straight in no hassle off ebay for £11 posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhorse1210 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Are they decent qualtiy darkhorse?I'll be honest and say that they do leave the screen a bit 'streaky', I'd definitely replace them both if I knew where to get a decent set from at a decent price. You posted a link to GSF but that's where I ordered them last time and they gave me the hook fitting blades which clearly don't fit the GTI. I was in a hurry and didn't check until I got home...schoolboy error. Do GSF do the GTI compatible fitting too? If so what is their part number? It will be different to the VW part number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
