Aero wiper upgrade Golf MK5 or Octy 2 wipers/arms to Mk1 Octy.

[ecklad]

Ok..

Its fitted and what a difference!!!!

Spent 5 minutes a side loosening the old wiper arms, patience is required and not much force just gently pressing up and down of the arm eventually breaks the resistance ( Lummox's method )...

MKIV arms on...

MKV blades fitted....

Now the 24 inch drivers blade fits perfectly.

however the passenger side even though it is the standard 19 inch size is actually positioned further out on the screen, the MK5 Golf must be wider..

This was not really an issue, it means I had to trim 1 cm from blade to clear the trim.

As I had the OEM MKIV wiper blades as well I tried the passenger blade which fitted as normal and fitted very nicely with the 24 inch blade... However given that to purchase at the dealers would prove very expensive...

the MKV blades wipe more of the screen and are cheaper than the MKIV set...

P.s. OEM MKIV wipers blades will be appearing on fleabay soon....

oh and I forgot to mention the absence of wind noise from these blades......

major difference...

It looks like the passenger side wiper comes over a bit too far.

Is this a distraction to you when you’re driving?

That passenger blade will mark the surround to the windscreen after a while.

Just looked on vag parts website.

But I could not find the group buy option for the aero wipers?

Does anyone know if the group buy is still on?

Cheers

[ecklad]

Not at all... Infact they clear the majority of the screen its a plus..

I think it you phone them and explain you are from briskoda they may be willing to sell you a set at the group buy price.

I trimmed the blade by about 1cm to clear surround, the 'wiper' with the endcap clears it no problem...
