i recently ordered one of these, i picked up today, fitted it and tried it, the blade is too big and wont go round the whole rear windscreen.. i measured it and its 280mm
i ordered this part number - 3C9 955 425
is this correct? or do i need to reorder?
thanks

You have to cut it to size I'm afraid, there is no direct swop

lol one day people will listen to me:P You do not have to cut the wiper. You just need to push the clip up the blade about an inch or so, so it is better positioned against the glass when on the arm

yeah i did try that and could have put it on...
there is a kind of indentation on the wiper where the clip is supposed to go, does it move much if its moved up?

i do admit that it does look good, think i keep with the wiper for abit longer, if i can go without using it i might consider removing

ye what i did was just didnt use it for like a week to see how i'd cope. you adjust really quickly!
plus if it really does get too dirty back there, you know your due for a clean!!
theres never a time when i think 'ah if only i had my rear wiper
'
