The rear wiper on the 8PA seems rather large for what it is, and it dangles too low.
Would it be possible to fit a shorter one?

Thanks
 
Yeah, easy enough to fit a shorter one. Quite a lot of the vag group will fit as they have the two jet washers like the A3.
You can remove yours and re-seat it so it doesn't dangle too low.

Thanks bud, that's good to know!
 
I replaced mine with the one from 8V. Doesnt dangle and looks way better.

Same here, used 8V, think it’s the same as Q3.

I bought a new updated aeroier version from a newer A3 model, fits better and more flush. My old wiper arm hinge was cracked too.
You can try adjusting the wiper arm resting position higher when you refit the wiper arm.

How’s the length in comparison? Thanks

Both pretty similar/identical. The updated wiper looks nicer and more flush without the bulkness of the old arm. Bought off ebay for $18usd.
Or you can do the rear wiper delete if you don't use it
