Reasonably priced mod #4

[jezyg]

You do love to taunt us IceCream Man

How do you expect us to sleep tonight knowing that another mod is on the way!!!

 

[BlackFR]

Well ICE MAN has asked me to post up some pics of his bargain mod

Heres the before picture...

 

[BlackFR]

And heres the after picture.. quite why it wasnt like this from the factory I dont know! Much nicer and apparently it works better too

Available from your local skoda dealer its the rear wiper from a fabia estate.... Ice Man to follow with part numbers etc when he gets back!

 

[Getgaff]

Ah ha! Have seen this banded around on the MKiv Golf forums. Looks good too, well worth doing.

Pete - did you have to trim the blade/cover to prevent it from catching the boot spoiler?

 

[BlackFR]

I beleive its completely standard mate... There is a shorter version which is for teh fabia hatch too!

Pete will be able to say for deffo but I'm sure it wos 100% unmodified!

Like the Fiat Punto rear wiper mod for smaller cars.

 

[Icecavern]

I've been looking for a better rear wiper for ages and couldn't find anything. The Fabia hatchback needs shortening to fit on a golf but is too small for a Leon. I couldn't find anything else so I decided I'd try it.

But then when chatting to Barry the parts guy at the local Skoda dealer he had a Fabia Estate wiper in stock... We took it out to check the size and it's a few mm smaller but that's it... So it fits perfectly on a Leon.

No cutting, no messing, just 2mins with a socket or spanner and you've got a new wiper...

Will post up the part numbers for it tonight...

Pete - you top banana once again . Part number please!

 

[paz]

WOW Pete! I like it.

The thing I like about it is the fact Joe Public won't even notice it but those in the know will !

Magic - I'll be sorting one out (once I actually buy my new car!)

Get one from a Fabia hatch - should be a similar size. Look at all the new cars on the road and they all have much tidier rear wipers. I have a Punto at home, though about swapping the wiper over but can'tbe arsed cos it's not working at the mo anyway

 

[Icecavern]

Dhop sorry guys I forgot last night...

Note in the palm Pilot to do it tonight

Blends in so well even when I told people the mod was on the back they still didn't see it straight off... Even Leon owners

As for the beeza... Can someone measure from the middle of the wiper bolt to the end of the wiper... And also how much clearance there is between the standard wiper and the spoiler... I'll check which one will work

Pete

 

[jezyg]

So then My ICe Creamy Man , what is the cost and part number of this mod?

Looks like Skoda dealers are going to be overun with Seat drivers!!!

Keep up the good work

 

[Icecavern]

Cost is £20.39 bargain if you ask me...

I'll post the part numbers up tonight, sorry I forgot yesterday...

Pete

Thanks, I take it that includes the wiper blade as well?

you'll need to produce an FAQ on all the mods you've done to save us lazy sods having to search around too much

You are a star.

Prepare to go out of stock of these items Skoda dealers as Seat owners buy all your stock.
