The rear wiper from the New Scirroco fits it perfectly...

I have put it on mine.

Does the Scirocco wiper blade fit without needing to be adjusted (alexperkins knows what I mean) or is it a direct "bolt-on" job? I need a new rear blade (I have had this upgrade installed since 2008) and if I can get one that doesn't need messing with, then all the better :lol:

It's a simple bolt on job :)

I've done the same Brad lol. It's handy to have part no's at hand.

Anywho, just to confirm, are those part numbers for the Scirocco rear wiper???

The "wiping area" is 7-8 mm shorter on either side... But you really don't notice it...

I went down to my local VW dealer with a measuring tape and went around the lot to physicaly see if any of them aould fit my Polo.
