    Rear wiper

    Hey guys! sorry about posting up a new topic even though there are a few threads covering wipers except when searching them up on tapatalk... they dont show up.. just all the 2000 reply threads about 'what have you done today etc'

    so. now to my point xD. I need to replace my wipers. especially the rear one, however after going to a few car stores, none of them had aero wiper blades. They all informed me that i needed to buy the whole piece and that "you cant buy the blades by themself anymore". Can anyone confirm this? can we no longer buy the blade by itself?

    Also, in those threads i mentioned, there was no mention of rear wiper blade replacement. I was thinking of going to a dealership and getting them replaced but so far i have driven there twice and they were closed. What do you guys do? Thanks for any help! =D

    Hey thanks for the quick reply. I've read this thread I just couldn't find it and that's why I made this thread =P

    The problem is I took the advice from here and went to super cheap auto and to autobarn and both said this option is no longer available. Anyone in melb know where i can buy just the blade?

    hey mate, check out volkspower in burwood- for a good year, i tried replacing the wiper blades myself- aero looking versions, slotting the actual rubber blade out for a new one, etc etc...

    nothing worked- nothing felt as good as stock.

    as silly as this sounds, once i started taking the car to volkspower for services, dean/brett would replace the wipers, and they were spot on- no overwipe between the left and right wipers, no non-contact patch etc....

    volkspower. check em out.
