The aero blades can be bought to fit the regular "hook" arms.

Just ordered some after lots of trawling. tbh, i dont think people sit that high to get that angle!
lol, you're probably right! I need new wipers so i bought them.
i tried to find a set of aero arms from a mk4 golf but no dice so, maybe in 6 months or so!

iv been using flat blades from tescos for the last year, need replacing now and il prob just use the same again as they seem pretty good to me, 6 or 8 quid each, cant complain!
they do sit a little high as per lee69 pic but it doesn't bother me.
only problem i ever had with these is when raining and driving too fast (120+) the wind seems to get under them and they dont work for p**s.
bit of rainX means you can turn your wipers off at 60+ anyway though so not really a problem

Just a bit of confirmation really, anyone know what are the sizes of the blades for front and rear are on the Mk1?
front drivers 21 inch front passenger 18 inch.
rear? you get a new wiper with the fabia conversion anyway lol
I'm seeing a lot of 21"/19" options out there.... would this be okay? I know it's only an inch but sometimes that's all it takes... !
!
dunno like mate, i think your better with the 18 i had a 19 passenger one for a year (flat blade) it worked OK but because it overlapped the screen a little (sat on the rain gutter) it ended up missing about 3 inches of the windscreen.
so more = less lol, your better with the right size mate

I was looking at my standard wipers whilst driving this morning and they don't appear to make the arms stick up any higher than this so, not meaning to sound funny, why is anyone bothered that the retro-fit flat blades sit this high?
I could do with some new wiper blades and might try these retro fit ones because I can't justify spending loads on the proper arms (unless a cheap set pop up on eBay of course).

To be honest they do sit up a bit more than the standard wipers but you soon get used to them and forget about them
Cheers mate, i'll keep my beady little eyes out for an 18" then..... i need more funds now though lol!
My second car is becoming more expensive than i thought

sorry to sound dumb but do you need the golf mkiv arms as well or are your blades on normal arms?
Cheers
