you can get them off ebay mate, pretty cheap only about £12-15

mine was a straight fit, some say the bolt cover needs sanding but mine didnt!

[eric87]

Loads on eBay, but not sure if they're any good. Most of them say genuine so maybe they're but only £10 or so delivered.

Why do people do this? Is the polo arm better?

[eric87]

Looks better apparently lol

[Holmesie]

it does work abit better being an aero blade looks miles better and my original skoda one died ...

Copied some pictures from various threads so we can all see the difference and included a picture with wiper removed which looks sweet but is less practical obviously

Can't you get an aero blade for the standard wiper? I'm sure I've seen a Bosch one on eBay & ECP.

[lukeanderson31]

I was under the impression the skoda blade was more awkward to source as the polo one would use a 'standard' aero blade

Correct me if im wrong like

yeah you can you can actually buy aero wipers for the standard rear skoda wiper arms i have one on mine. slightly more expensive though but work a hell of a lot better than normal wipers. il find out which one it is for you in a minute

That said i think this will be a mod il be doing soon though especially with it being so cheap.

What wiper is this for?

This wiper is for the Polo arm fitment, the one for the fabia wiper arm is the A350H wiper blade

Hope this helps
