Areo blades for the T5

[The_Hawk]

It's strange that the rear wiper is an aero blade but the front's are not (at least on my T5.1 Multivan).

Anyway, I'm looking at getting Aero's for the front anyone seen any kits that will fit? Recommend something you have used?

These turned up in a search and look like they will drop onto the stock arms:

Try WURTH they definitely have them and the price is OK.

Here is a thread that I started for Passats, should be relevant for all though...

Tridon have now improved there wiper baldes, they are called Flexblade.

To revive an old thread...

I decided to change my wiper arms to the California items as per the Brickyard post. I like the fact that they park below the bonnet line. When I went to purchase the matching aero wipers I was surprised at the price & availability of the options.

Bosch Aero (local) - tried six outlets as recommended on the Bosch site, no stock
Tridon FlexBlade ~AUD28ea (as mentioned by ope126)
VW A genuine part ~AUD75ea
VW UK genuine part ~AUD75pr landed
Bosch Aero UK ~AUD50pr landed

I went with the Bosch Aero from the UK as I am not in a rush. For an extra $6 go the Tridon FlexBlade if you need them urgently.

Have you got links to all the different parts you ended up buying??

Will be very interested to see what your getting and how they look.

Hi Hawk,

Brickyard thread that got me going...

Why not just go to VW and get genuine rubber refills? I have the original holders on my Golf and went to the stealer and got Bosch aero refills for only $10 each at trade for the front and 16 for the whole rear blade...

I've used aerotwins on previous cars and nothing comes close, not even the standard bosch rubber.

The Bosch Aerotwin retro-fits still going strong!

Just ordered 2 pair from the UK via Ebay. $96 AU delivered and I don't have to drive all over Nth QLD looking for them. I also ordered two pair of rear blades for $45 AU delivered as well.
I'm in no rush either as I'm away from home still.

Best wishes all.
