ha ha, took me a while to get mine on (Mk3, but surely the same)
with, the outer casing on the wiper should lift up. Put the end of the arm through that, and connect it to the blade as you would with normal wipers. Once in place, clip the outer casing back into place.
Hope that makes sense (took me 30mins in freezing cold last week to figure it out lol)

Hi
Are these the proper ones or refit fit?
Fitted Bosch Aero twins (retrofit) to the Mk1 Leon a week or so a go. Performance - very, very good - especially at high speeds - according to my mate who had his R/Rover @ 120mph and they were still clearing nicely (that's got to be flat out!)
If they are the same as mine, the cap covering the clip that attaches to the arm is hinged. I think give the cap a squeeze and pull slightly away from at first and it should open up. You then feed the arm through the hole of the hinged cap and feed the clip (in the blade) int the end of the arm. I did this on the windscreen almost in situe (felt this was easier), then once happy all in, pulled the arms up and gave the blade a tug (like uncorking a bottle of wine - you'll know how to do that bit!) - clicked home. Flipped the caps back over and thats that.
Sounds complicated but isn't. I assume that its either the cap you haven't hinged back yet or the feeding of the arm to the blade. If the latter, try it on the windscreen rather than with the arms up - just be careful with the glass though incase that arm snap back!
Lastly sorry for wasting your time if these are not the wipers you're looking for (old jedi mind trick)
The instructions were on the packet tho.

from wiperblades.co.uk alot of people on here got them from there. The instructions show someone usind a hook thing to fit them, so not helpful!
These were the same as mine. Easy - a 3 minute job on the Leon and I can't see it being any different on a beeza.
To get old ones off
I might be talking out of terms here (non beeza owner) - just do a cork bottle in reverse with the arms up - controlled strength because they will go. On some clips there is sometimes a little tab to lock it in place (don't come across these much). You could always bust the fitting clip as you're not going to use it again any how (the plastic piece that the arm loops round on the wiper. I don't like gorilla tactics, but I know on the odd rare occassion its necessary on wipers - why I don't know but I know people do it. Once off your sorted. Follow my instuctions.
There is no hook thing - only the end of the wiper arm!
Your first pic, the top hinges up. feed the hook (at the end of the arm) through the hinged bit you've just done. Then feed the hook round the plastic piece in your pic thats swivels. The curved end of your arm, needs to go round the curved end of this part. Do this on the windcreen to get the shallow angle needed. Once in do the cork wine bottle thing to click home then hinged the cap back into place.
All else fails, ask someone who's fitted wipers before - they should be able to do it.
