Do you get any issues with scrubbing, on the driver's side wiper arm? I had a problem with my set but I had a pair of arms straight off a Lupo, e.g. 1x driver's side and 1x passenger side, whereas the general consensus is that 2x passenger arms works best!!

No Si, not had any problems at all.
Thinking about it, I may have fitted the arms the wrong way around but it was fine either way.

Did you use the old style, or the new style?

No idea which style I fitted, just that they were aeros! This was back in 2005 and I bought them from moynas.

I will buy another set before too long and fit them plus delete the rear wiper 8)

fitted the bosch retrofit ones and they clean pretty well, best of all theyre literally silent, you can only hear the wiper-motor making a noise.

another advantage is that they look a lil bit different to standard ones i suppose.

One more! :D Stillorgan

I don't like the sound of the Lupo GTI arms rubbing or the look of retrofit wipers.

I'm experimenting with attaching 9n Bosch Aerotwins onto the standard arms at the moment. They'll be a pain to get right I think. At the moment i have them bolted on, which is a start
