  • Windscreen Wiper Options

    Hi Guys,

    I've been thinking for a while about changing my windscreen wipers, both blade and arms.

    I have upgraded the wiper blades to the "retro" fit ones, which aren't bad.

    Can anyone give m any suggestions on what is compatible with the Coupe wiper motor.

    Many thanks

    Andy

      Love the car, by the way. My favourite colour

      There's some info on this forum regarding Polo and A6 wiper arms if you search, but I couldn't get a definite answer as to exactly what fitted a RHD coupe so have put it on the back burner. Hopefully someone can help.

        Cheers m8! Taken some work to get the car the way it is now!

        Yeah, I have seen the post, but wasn't sure exactly what they were on about. I'm sure that someone has changed the wipers....

          C5 aero arms are the best upgrade, have a look in my project thread from a couple of years ago - can't link to it right now, off my phone

              C5 aeros:







              Be aware not all C5 arms fit, they changed the spline size at some point.
              My C5 arms are numbered 4B2 955 407 C and 4B2 955 408 C - use only these part numbers./ the passenger blade needs to be shortened about 40mm or it overhangs the screen. Easy job.

                The look of those wipers is exactly what I'm looking for!

                        id expect so. just messing. it gets boring in hospital.

                        its a lovely looking car even with no tax.

                        on the corrado it was lupo wipers. I expect they are a bit short.

                            at Gaz..

                            Funnily enough I did get away without putting the tax disc in my corsa van for 12 months, only realised when I put the new disc in

                            The Lupo wipers do fit, they just don't look as good IMHO, plus the springs on the C5 arms are loads stronger, so they wipe perfectly even well into 3 figures
