LOL, Me lazy
I got the blade, arm and cap today after the service department forgot to order it!! Total cost (at cost) £15.00 The new blade looks well 'sprung' so it should stick like glue when I fit it
I did try and get it fitted today but someone where I work (Audi) is gonna fit it for me tomorrow. Looking at it it'll definately fit though, not sure about a MK4 Polo but at the end of the day a rear wiper arm is a rear wiper arm, lol.
Also got my upgraded rear speakers today, gonna set me back about £75 (inc. new grilles), believe they are 60 watt
I left the invoice at work so I'll get prices tomorrow.

I think the new Aero rear blade from a 9N is 340mm (I think!) and the 6N2 is 280mm... It is much longer anyway. I thought you'd be able to chop the Aero blades down easilly as they are rubber) but they have end caps on etc, so I don't know if it would look wack if you chopped it?
Also, like I put on the other post in MK4 section... I don't know if the arm will fit on the spindle properly... The 9N spindle looks visually longer than the 6N/6N2
I want these wipers so badly, and after paying £50 for the front arms and blades, I'm going to make them fit!

Good point Josh- the spindle may cause a lot of trouble. Doesn't the Lupo have a similar Aero rear wiper? Its rearwindow is much smaller and may make it easier to fit.
The Passat has one too, but that's even bigger than the 9n.
One more thing, I think we'd be able to cut the rubber blade down, but it would cause the hookup point of the arm on the blade to be out of centre. The actual fitting of the arm would be most difficult though.
...
I've just checked ETKA, the G4 rear wiper is 340mm, the Passat 3BG is 380mm, the Lupo and 6N/F are 280mm. The 340mm for the 9N you mentioned seems very likely.
