Lupo rear aero wiper

Post by ben3486 »

is this just a straight one for one swap or do you have to do a bit of modifying?! I bought the kit ( arm, blade and cap) off ebay and it stated for lupo, polo mk4/5 and its too bloody long. can some one shed some light on this for me please?!

You need as follows:

Passat Estate rear aero blade and wiper and the cap for it

The blade is a 280mm which is the same as the normal wiper blade on the mk5

You then need to shift the bracket on the blade down a bit so it fits in the same position as the existing normal wiper blade does on the screen

The Lupo has a s**t rear wiper.
We all change to a 9N Polo rear wiper.
I've used this wiper on my Polo GTI but had to cut down the blade quite a bit.

As alexperkins will testify, I've got the Passat rear aero wiper fitted to my car. Its also the same part as the 9N3 Polo BlueMotion 8)

Fits a treat and works wonderfully once you have adjusted the clip!
