Fabia rear wiper OR Leon Rear Aero?

Loud pipes save lives!
My Fabia wiper kit came today :thumbup: No more squeaky half-cleaned rear window for me :D It's a major improvement visually and how well it wipes. It took me ages to wiggle the old arm off though!

I think I might adjust it though to make it sit parallel with the bottom of the window.

Just fitted my rear aero wiper, after trimming the cap. Trimmed it too much un fact, about 1 cm. You only need about 5mm, probably doable with a metal file alone. We used some heavy duty scissors, along with much effort with a stanley.

And there was a lot of judding sound which I wasnt too happy about. Only way to solve it was to try and cushion the blade from the spring with a bit of sponge or cloth. It'll do for know, see how long it lasts.

Looks great though, and works like a dream. Great wipe, even pressure all the way. Had it parrallel at the start, but then it falls a little short, so evened it out butr with tiny bias towards parrallel at start!
