who sells the OEM aero wiper conversion front and rear (for avant). ECS only has the fronts AFAIK

Just get Bosch ICONs...similar wipers that just snap on, no work required.

lookaught::02_Avant!

I have a sedan and got the one from ECS. Not worth the money IMO. I get this problem where water collects in the joint of the wiper and arm and then when i use the wiper in light rain or with the windshield washer squirters then the blade cleans great on the way up, and on the way down airflow blows the water out of the joint onto the window. then I have water droplets all over the window again after I just cleaned it!

They look nice, but for the money they are no better and actually more annoying than the stock blades. I regret the mod.

I understand that startup racing has a slightly different version though, so maybe its better.

go to search parts, enter 'aero wiper'
don't worry about the price being in GBP, they will translate it for you (1GBP=$1.75US)

email Martyn (sales@vagparts.com) for details.

check my pic poster for photos.
