S3 8P2 rear aero wiper upgrade

[Tomplumb]

As above, I'd like to know if its possible to remove rear wiper and retro fit an aero wiper and arm. I know it's possible on the 8l using a polo blade and touran arm. Surely someone must have attempted this mod. Or maybe I should just de-wiper ;-)

Thanks in advance.

Aero wiper, on the rear window? Umm. Am I missing something?

The 8P2 already has an aero wiper look on the rear wiper? Not sure what you will gain by doing this mod?

It's on an 8L S3. No particular reason other than I think it's looks quite good. Not a fan of the rear wiper on the 8P2 looks wise.

I de wipered mine a few weekends ago. I originally bought the 23mm rubber grommet from halfords however shortly after noticed there is a glass de wiper bung on eBay and now have that fitted. Looks like there was never a wiper there, they're prone to breaking anyway and a pain to get the wiper arm off the motor spindle.

Wiper parks on the right on the 8p so that wouldn't be suitable.

Someone on here has put a Golf MK5 wiper on their A3. Cant remember who.
think that is the look your going for?

I had to replace my arm recently and thought about swapping to a mk5 but I prefer the standard A3 one.

True enough, thanks.

Yeah that's the sort of thing. Hmmm I'll try a bit more searching. Thanks .

Still struggling with this one - this is what the std rear wiper looks like;


It looks like an aero wiper (even though it isn't)!

Nice motor. Yeah that's the kind of arm I have right now...

Did you use the Gecleant glass wiper bung from Germany? Seriously considering a dewiper tbh.

Yeah that looks pretty close to what I'm after. Do you know if the aero blade is contained inside the arm or does it come out of the top a little way?
