How to choose the right wiper blades for your Volkswagen
Choosing wiper blades for a Volkswagen is simple once you know the blade lengths, the arm connector and whether your vehicle has a rear wiper. Work through the steps below to find the blades that suit your car.
- Start by opening the size guide for your model above and locating your vehicle's build year.
- Make sure the sizes match your body style, as versions of the same model do not always share the same blades.
- Confirm the connector type listed for your vehicle so the new blades clip securely onto the wiper arms.
- Where a rear wiper is fitted, it pays to change the rear blade along with the front pair.
Volkswagen Wiper Blade FAQs
How often should Volkswagen wiper blades be replaced?
Most Volkswagen owners should fit new wiper blades every 12 months, or earlier if the blades start to streak, smear or chatter. Heat and UV are the main causes of wear in Australia, so cars parked outside may need new blades sooner.
Can I fit Volkswagen wiper blades myself?
Yes, Volkswagen wiper blades can be fitted at home in about 60 seconds without tools. The new blade clips onto the existing wiper arm using the same connector as the original, and easy-to-follow installation instructions are included.
Should I replace both front wiper blades on my Volkswagen at the same time?
Yes, replacing both front blades together gives an even, consistent wipe across the windscreen. Blades wear at a similar rate, so pairing a new blade with an old one often leaves streaks on one side. If your Volkswagen has a rear wiper, replacing the rear blade at the same time keeps the back window just as clear.
Why are my Volkswagen wiper blades streaking or chattering?
When blades streak or chatter, the rubber has usually hardened, split or collected a film of road grime. Wiping the blades and windscreen clean can restore performance for a while, but persistent streaks mean it is time for a new set.
Can I use a longer wiper blade than the listed size on my Volkswagen?
It is best to use the sizes listed for your Volkswagen. A blade that is too long can hit the windscreen frame or clash with the other blade, while a blade that is too short leaves an unwiped strip in your line of sight.
How can I make my Volkswagen wiper blades last longer?
Running the wipers only on a wet windscreen, topping up the washer fluid and cleaning the rubber edges regularly all help blades last longer. Parking under cover or in the shade reduces the sun damage that hardens the rubber.
Why do Volkswagen models need specific wiper blades?
Volkswagen is the German carmaker behind household names such as the Golf, Polo and Tiguan, along with the Amarok ute and Transporter van. Windscreen shapes change from one Volkswagen model to the next, which means blade lengths and connectors change too. Matching your blades to the size guide for your model and year gives a secure fit and a clear, even wipe.
