Do you have a rear aero wiper? if not, get yourself to the dealers and buy one, mine cost me Â£20 for the arm, blade and cap. It takes 2 minutes to fit and works much better.

probly not it's just a crappy normal one i suspect.

Is it a metal framed wiper or one with a plastic cover over 3/4 of the wiper arm?

halfords wipers suck

Get a VW one at least it will last!!

A whole new arm, cap and blade is about Â£23 from your dealer lol

You can either just buy a blade from VW if you dont have an Areo wiper (like on my old Polo below) or replace it with the Aero wiper (which is just sexy!)

Alex - can you post/PM me the part numbers and price for a complete areo wiper for the Polo and front Area Wipers for a 2003 Golf GT TDI please? I need to replace the ones on the Golf.

Under the cap is a 10 or 12mm bolt. You'll probably need some WD40 to free it up as mine had rusted on slightly. Pull the old wiper off and stick the new one on and re-do the bolt!

Why not just remove the wiper arm etc and have it flush who needs 1 anyway.
