Just had a look at the order number mate. It will fit the 6N2 but will need trimmed to make it fit as is a lot longer than a 6N2 rear wiper.

Spot on mate. It needs trimming in length so that it doesn't foul on the rear spoiler. You'll need to retain the bit you cut off and take the end cap off it, re-cut the grooves and re-attach it to your now shorter wiper blade. Sounds tricky, quite simple with the right tools! I got my Dad to take care of it for me

as he's got all the tools at his disposal in his line of work.

It looks smart!

So all you have to do is trim the actual wiper blade? Might have to invest in one then

Yup, just trim the blade and pop it on in place of the old one. The only slight niggle is that after a few wipes (like half a dozen or so) the rear cap might lift up a little bit, I've noticed this every now and again, all I do is pop it back on when I next stop. The resolution is to trim the base of the cap by a few millimetres so that it fits better? Mine sits flush so I'm happy

The wiper is from a Polo 9n (the model with the twin round headlamps) and you'll need the wiper arm, blade and cap, three parts.

You can have mine if you want mate, my new standard rear wiper arrives at my dealer on Monday for me to fit, leaving the aero wiper up for grabs. 6 months old, blade cut to length, fits and wipes perfectly, two-minute swap-over job

Mine has been on the car for 2 months, in which ive drove it once a week, on saturday to work (been off uni) and its perfect working order if anyone wants it. The only reason its for sale is because ive got no wiper now. Smoothing the car now
