pingpongpo Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Hi gang, The time has come for me to splash out on some new windscreen wipers. However, my golf's age is right before they introduced those 1 piece jobbies. Can these be fitted to my standard wiper blade mountings and if not, what modifications are required? Would also appreciate an opinion on which are best as well out of the standard wipers and the 1 piece thingies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjie Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I think the 1 piece thingies you're on about are aero wipers - do they look like a banana shape when they're lifted off the windscreen? I got them for mine and they are much better, I find I have to be careful that thay're properly alligned etc otherwise they don't work so well. They look loads better than the standard ones too. You will need to buy new arms to go with them though, about £120 all in from a dealer I think, but I reckon you can get them cheaper at vag parts or kool-vw.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpongpo Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 £120!! I think I may stick with the standard ones then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigM Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 You can get the "aero wiper" style blades to fit the standard old style wiper arms here: http://www.1stautobulbs.com/classic-fusion-retrofit-flatblades.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth shooting a pm to one of the mods to introduce yourself as a seller, and ok the advertising with them. The discount offering should help. Nice to see you, and hope we can all benefit from your services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stAutoBulbs Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Sorry if it looks a little spammy. Yes I am the ecommerce manager for the site, just monitored that we had received traffic from this post and thought I would spread a little good-will with some money off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stAutoBulbs Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 CRUISE Code is now 10%, I was obviously not feeling in such a generous mood when I created it several days ago. Happy Shopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpongpo Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 He's not wrong you know! Just ordered mine with the 10% and got some free bulbs thrown in as well Just hope the rain stops by the time they arrive so I can fit them without getting wet!!

Wobby Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 The link and site doesn't seem to be responding for me!! Are these wipers any good? The ones i keep buying seem to last about 2 days! Then they are crap! I was starting to think my springs that pull them onto the screen may be tired, so i was going to buy some new parts. Ideas anyone?

Rustynuts Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Wobby, I bet you're using Firefox, aren't you? Try Maxthon, or Internet Exploder, and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpongpo Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 These arrived this morning so hopefully I will be able to eliminate the horrible noise my wipers make when they are dragged across the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpongpo Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Wipers seem really smooth but the drivers side doesn't want to sit down in the middle properly. Will this flatten out over time? It wipes one way ok but not the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collease Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Just ordered my wiper blades and the service i got was outstanding. I forgot to up the amount from 1 to 2 but this was pointed out to me befor the goods were dispatched and now i have 2 on their way. top job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
