A bit of a topic hijjack ;) - I recently (and i mean like 2 maybe 3 weeks ago) brought some replacement aero blades from halfrauds (theyre own brand) cost me 20 quid.... and how do i put this... theyre ****. My drives side now smears mroe than clears.

Am i bette roff just going to seat and buying a seat from them or is there alternatives people can recommend.

TIA.

If you're pre facelift I can highly recommend the Retrofit Aero blades from any VAG dealer. cost me £16.69, think that might have been trade cost

if you're post-facelift then i think people on here have recommended the ones from wiperblades.co.uk - bosch i think? theres something about them higher in the thread i think.

polo wipers up to about £20 now! just remove the old wiper off the rear, cut about 6mm off the cap, bolt new arm on pop cap on.

Retro front wipers are just the same as changing normal wipers
