Wiper conversion

[DUB 20V]

I think there is some confusion here. I'm no Golf expert but I think early MKIVs got the traditional metal (crappy) style wiper arms and blades, whilst 2000.5+ got the nicer aero arms and obviously aero blades to suit.

Those cheaper links ~$35 are just the blades and not the arms like ope126 said.

well said thats right.......

Yeah, the 2000 model update got the aero wipers whereas all pre 2000 golfs have the crappy metal pronged arms.

Will try and head down to the wreckers today, so long as we don't have another mini hurricane in Melbourne today!

Let us know how you go because I want a set but can't justify 250 odd on a full set of newies.

Can I just say something here without rocking the boat?

If anyone wants to come and see my car for proof, they're very welcome. I have upgraded my wiper BLADES to aero wiper BLADES for THIRTY FIVE dollars and they wipe the windscreen dry. Louis (soundofav6) has these as well and his have been going strong for a long time, according to Ray.

In my opinion (i felt the need to spell it out), it is an absolute complete waste of money to splurge for the arms as well. They'll be doing the same thing, so you really only need to purchase the upgraded 'aero style' blade assembly to get fantastic results.

Say what mate? You said you replaced the ARMS for 35 bucks but then you say it's a complete waste of money to splurge on the arms as well.

I want the whole wiper arms and blades - for functionality as well as aesthetics.

Hahaha sorry...I meant the blades haha. All fixed.

[dubbed]

Haha I thought so, was just clarifying. But dammit I want the whole freakin' arms. I should've just got a 2000.5 Golf GTI in the first place arrrrrrgghhh.

dubbed, there are many other (minor / cosmetic) differences apart from just aero wipers!
Should be in the Mk4 FAQ's...
