I received my VW Polo Aero Rear Wiper kit today which I purchased through the current Briskoda Group Buy - http://briskoda.net/group-buys-promotions/group-buy-polo-aero-rear-wiper-fabia-mk-1-a/140206/.

Many thanks to Chris Slater at Pulman Skoda for sorting this out.

Here are a couple of pics to be going on with - I took a few more so I'll try to get a quick fitting guide done later for anyone else that is in the GB.

Edit - fitting guide now done - see http://briskoda.net/technical-guides/vw-polo-rear-aero-wiper-fitting-guide/142247/

Before....

After....

I definitely prefer the look of it, and I'm sure I won't have to wait too long for rain to see how it performs!

Welcome to the club Did you have to shave the cap down on yours? I had to take about half a cm off mine as it wouldn't even get close to clicking down!

Props for chalking up another mod

But this is one club i wont be joining . . . I prefer the standard Fabia wiper! Am i the only one? :confused:

No - apparently a lot of the Seat guys like the Fabia one!!!!

Haha - Maybe i bought the wrong car!

Nah, I suppose its just about making it look "different" for most.

but the Polo wiper apparently works better

I was following a fabia with one fitted, didn't know it was off a Polo, I just thought some numpty must've snapped half of it off.

Looks good Andy!

Pleased you got it ok, other stuff on its way (also other wiper kits for the other members on their way today/tomorrow)

I swapped mine purely for the better clearing. The rear of my fabia is always covered in crap... I think these cars have all the aerodynamics of a brick

aero wiper is a bit better than standard. Personally though I do prefer the looks of the rear one. The front aero wipers are a bit ugly though and tbh not that great at clearing the windscreen

I always thought it looked better, but hey And it is better at cleaning...

Go for some XOPC Acrobat Extremes next time - look in 'Member Benefits' for details.

I'd forgotten what a Fabia rear wiper looks like.

Nice touch.

Not sure if its the photo or not but the Polo one looks shorter than the fabia one?

+1

Although, it's always good to stand out from the masses

I rather the std one i think, however, i jus decided to take mine of totally. Not had much rain to get on my nerves, but i know its gonna be covered very quickly lol

I think it is a bit shorter - and I vaguely remember reading that in another thread. Think someone has also found a bigger blade that is suitable.

I'll see how I get on in the rain, although mine is used more in conjunction with the rear washer - if it works well I can put up with a smaller clean area instead of a bigger smeared area!

Its 1-2 inches shorter. Seriously don't notice it after the dirty arch is gone from the window

for everybodies information , the Volvo C30 rear blade is the same fitment as the Polo one and has the added benefit of being at least 2 inches longer

guess which one is fitted to mine and it was free , lol

Thanks ric - knew I'd read something somewhere - that must be it!
