The Volkswagen Golf is a German small family car and one of Volkswagen's longest running nameplates, produced across eight generations since 1991 in hatchback, station wagon and convertible body styles. The most common current generation, the Golf Hatchback (Mark 7 / Mark 7.5, 2012-2022), takes a 26 inch (650mm) blade on the driver side and a 17 inch (425mm) blade on the passenger side, though sizes vary by generation and body type. Front wiper connectors range from J-hook fittings on Mark 3 and Mark 4 models to slim push button fittings on later Mark 7, Mark 7.5 and Mark 8 models, and most Hatchback and Station Wagon variants are fitted with a rear wiper as standard, though the Convertible / Cabriolet and some early Mark 3 and Mark 4 configurations are not. Find your vehicle year in the table below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Volkswagen Golf take?
Wiper blade sizes for the Volkswagen Golf vary by generation and body type, ranging from a 21 inch (525mm) driver blade on early Mark 3 and Mark 4 models to a 26 inch (650mm) driver blade on Mark 7 onward models. Passenger side sizes range from 17 inch (425mm) up to 19 inch (475mm) across the range. Owners should check their vehicle year and body type in the table above to find the exact size for their Golf.
Does the Volkswagen Golf have a rear wiper?
Most Volkswagen Golf Hatchback and Station Wagon models are fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard, with rear sizes ranging from 10 inch (250mm) to 14 inch (350mm) depending on the generation. The Convertible / Cabriolet body style, along with the 1998 to 2004 (Mark 4) and 1995 to 1998 (Mark 3) front only variants, do not have a rear wiper. Owners should check the table above to confirm rear wiper fitment for their specific model.
What wiper connector does the Volkswagen Golf use?
The Volkswagen Golf uses several different front wiper connector types depending on the generation, including J-hook fittings on Mark 3 and Mark 4 models, side lock fittings on the Mark 4 Facelift and Mark 5, push button fittings on the Mark 5 Facelift, Mark 6 and some Mark 7 and Mark 8 variants, and slim push button fittings on the Mark 6 Convertible and most Mark 7, Mark 7.5 and Mark 8 Hatchback models. Owners should confirm their connector type using the table above before ordering.
Why does the Volkswagen Golf Mark 4 have two different wiper blade listings?
The Mark 4 Golf was sold with and without a factory rear wiper depending on trim and body configuration, so Wiper Blades Direct lists a front and rear kit for 1998 to 2002 models and a front pair only kit for 1998 to 2004 models. The same situation applies to the Mark 3 Golf, which is listed as a front and rear kit for 1991 to 1998 models and a front pair only kit for 1995 to 1998 models. Owners should check whether their Golf has a factory rear wiper fitted before selecting a kit.
How often should I replace Volkswagen Golf wiper blades?
Volkswagen Golf wiper blades should typically be replaced every 12 months, or sooner if they start to streak, judder or leave areas of the windscreen uncleared. Australian conditions, including strong UV exposure, can accelerate wear on the rubber compound. Regular replacement helps maintain clear visibility in wet weather regardless of the Golf's generation or body type.
