My local motor factors reckon that a rear wiper for my 06 estate is a main dealer only item.

Anyone able to corroborate this ?

Yep, its true according to both skoda dealers i just called. Neither have any in stock though.

Never had to place an order for a wiper blade before !

Rear wiper blades for hatches are about half the price of shops at the dealers, so don't worry about it.

Halfords have them. That's where I got mine.
