rear wiper FALLEN OFF!! aaargh!!

hewhoisnotintheknow

pretty much anything will fit, when some yob snapped mine off i replaced it with anything that looked about right

If it was the front i would go for the correct one but in this instance its not really that important

If you look at old novas etc on boy racer cars they always have wipers from much newer cars as they look nicer

Thats useful to know..merci

But some need modifying, we often get guys wanting to do the same with Polo rear wipers but they're not quite the same. Be careful you dont just get any old one

as for wipers when frost, always clear your screen and make sure you can lift the wipers and they are not stuck

My heated screen and washer nozzles on my peugeot are great!

It does usually only rip the blade rather than take the whole arm off though :rotfl:

well you would think wouldnt you

however if you have had snow fall on the screen and build up around the wiper and then freeze you could imagine how it could work loose if the wipers were turned on and the nut was not tight (or even there) to start with

My experiance of removing wiper arms is that they are hard to pull off!

Ditto, had to do it on both my missus old cars (106 and Polo) and both were a pig.
