Need a new wiper arm

Hi all,

Just a quick question.

Where do you guys get wiper arms from? I checked euro car parts but they don't have them for my car. I've had a quick look on the bay of e too.

It's for an 03 Vw polo. The drivers side isn't springing back to the windscreen.

Thanks guys

ebay. Bought a full wiper assembly for our lass's 03 Polo from there. Despite the reassurance from the comapny it would fit after checking the reg and model, it was incorrect, but a bit of work with a screwdriver and some spanners i cannibalised the old and 'new' one and alll works fine now.

For VW bits I used to go to a 2nd hand VW parts/Breakers place near where Coventry FC ground is, Just off the big roundabout there. You only want a spring though so go to a local scappys & pull one off another car.

eBay without a doubt

There under £20 from the dealers so why not get a shiney new one from there?

You could always find out what ones would be suted for aero blades on a vw forum and do an "upgrade" while your there

Get some rainX, give your windscreen a good clean and spray that puppy on there.

Buy those decent wipers and you'll find they last an awful lot longer than normal since you won't barely need to use them. It's honestly one of my most favourite treatments to use.
