RS2 Retro Wipers

[rs2315]

I've gone back to factory arms and blades, after changing them from the A6 aero wipers on my RS.
Front wipers no probs with swap, using Bosch super plus. The rear is leaving me scratching my head. The Bosch rear would not fit the arm correctly, fouling the underside of the arm where the spring is which in turn will not let the blade sit flat on the glass.
I was led to believe the OE blade length is 16''??
Is there a specific blade needed for the avant arm?

Might be an idea to PM Saltinot, I guess he's using OE rear arm, and a blade that fits on his RS2 build thread.

Would appreciate any info from someone who may have had this problem.

If I get this sorted, I'll have for sale a full set of LHD A6 aero wipers with no real wear, and the small mods done to fit an avant in excellent condition.

Cheers.

I had the same issue with Bosch blades on the rear of my car, I did a little mod with a panel beating hammer on the blade (it was subtle and accurate despite the hammer use) and it's all good now!
