2x 6x2 955 410c

Driver's side arms £35.78 each

1x 6x2 955 426

Passenger side blade £12.33

1x 1J2 955 425B

Driver's side blade £12.87

 

Note: Plastic caps came with the arms, this is not always the case. Check with supplier. if you need to order plastic caps the part number is 1J0 955 205 A 01C . Prices may vary

 



Lift the bonnet and prop open. Using a flat head screwdriver ease the plastic covers off the wiper rotor, shown opposite. You'll now see two 13mm bolts which hold the wipers in place. Remove both nuts and lift the arm assembly away from the car.

 



First fit the blades to the arms. Once complete take the arm with the driver's side blade and fit to drivers side. Then fit the passenger side. Make sure both blades are as close as possible to the plastic cover when in the down position.

 

Put nuts back on, tighten and test. If they're hitting any part of the car adjust the position until they are correct, then replace the plastic caps and you're all done.
