Avant owners - have you changed your rear wiper? At dealership, or aftermarket?

I seem to recall that Bosch doesn't have a wiper application for the hatch, and I was just curious if anyone already found an aftermarket solution, or if I need to go to the dealership <cringe>

If you want to stick to OEM you can probably get away with purchasing a 22" insert/refill from ECS,

cut it to size. I am assuming that the rear wiper is not longer than 22".

I think the generic Bosch wiper will fit. Import parts places sell the shorter Bosch blates.

These are not re-fills.

heh - guess I'll measure tonight and look at the connection...

I had DAP order me up the refill rubber from impex with his order, so we'll see if that works.

Thanks!
