    General maintenance Aero Wiper Modification MK1 Leon

    This guide was written by @Pabs This modification came about when I realised how badly the standard wipers on the Leon were. Not only do they look ugly, but they also tend to leave huge smears across the windscreen, which impairs visibility. My passenger wiper did nothing but smear, no matter...
