Front Wiper Options???

D_O_U_G_I_E · May 30, 2009

l've searched page after page up to now looking for some views and advice on what wiper conversions people have done to replace their fronts on Leon's, but l keep coming up empty handed!

l've changed my rear one for a Fabia which has tidyed up the back window and now l wana do the same with the front one's.......but l've no idea which ones will fit!?

Any help, personal views or pictures of what people have done/seen would be greatfully received!

or I think Seat do Retro Fit Aero blades now, which fit directly to your existing wiper arms

Cool, cheers for that! l don't supose you've got any close up photos you could post, have you?

Also, on a different note.......did you buy the black grill badge, or spray it yourself? Looks well nice!

How did you get the badge out then? l know they're plastic welded in to place, but l wasn't sure if theres an art to getting it out with out it breaking!

The centre grill is held in with 4 clips; take this out; then on the back of the badge there are two plastic pins which need removing (either with a knife or soldering iron). Then the badge just clips out and back in again once painted

if you do the boot one get in touch with nev_lcr - he has done his

i'm not sure about the boot one, but it may get done in the summer if i get bored!

re painting - make sure you leave all the layers to harden properly before putting the badge back in the grill or the grill will scratch the paint

LEE69 · Feb 11, 2010

Brand new around £80 for the arms and blades.
Ebay as a kit ready to buy

They do come up secondhand now and again.
They are of a golf mk4 or a bora or an s3 Audi.

Gezzy · Feb 11, 2010

ok thanks man cant stand how far mine stick out. what you get for cheapys though aye

Trublu07 · Feb 17, 2010

Lee are you sure Audi s3 ones will fit?

LEE69 · Feb 17, 2010

Yeah, should be the same but i think the passenger wiper needs trimming down still.
