For anyone in the Lancs/Preston area try CPC - www.cpc.co.uk, they sell the range of Bosch wiper blades at very good prices - The Drivers Octavia 21S is less than

do you know how to change the rear wiper blade on a fabia it seems to have some sort of plastic clip any help gratefully received

Went to my local Halfords a few weeks ago for a new rear wiper from me Octy MK1 Hatch. The book said 13" for both Halfords make and BOSCH. So bought one only to compare it to the one already on my car, should have measured it first. Rear wiper was 15.5" so must be original, so I went for a 16" BOSCH blade, worked a treat and now it cleans more of my rear windscreen.

Ooooh someone'e been digging. Was a bit of a surprise to see freakcrab!

Anyway I've dound that the dealers supply wiper blades for much the same price as Halfords and they work better too. YMMV.

My rear wiper isn't clearing the window very well on my Fabia hatch, so I figure it is due for replacement. Like the user who started this thread, I can't find which is the correct blade to buy to replace the rear wiper - I can only find the front wipers. Very puzzling. Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? Ideally, I'd like to buy a Bosch blade, but need the correct reference number for it.
