Joe M 0 Posted July 12, 2003 There is no fouling of the bonnet with this setup, as previously reported when using the passenger side arm. So is it still 2 drivers side arms that are required, with the new part no. But this time 2 drivers side blades with the new part no. instead of one of each blade?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 12, 2003 God knows mate! I just used two drivers arms, a passenger blade and a driver's blade. Works brilliantly and have no premature wear issues to report. Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevemac 0 Posted July 12, 2003 The Lupo GTI wiper mod works best when 2 drivers side arms are fitted with 1 drivers wiper blade and 1 passengers wiper blade. I have this mod on my G60 - what a transformation. 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Edwards 0 Posted July 13, 2003 Steve, WHat's the difference between the 2 blades? According to ETKA they're bothe the same length - is the pivot in a different position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted July 13, 2003 Yes - approx 10mm difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 18, 2003 The blades have now changed. They now feature shallower rubber and you can now fit new cartridges like regular blades, without having to replace the whole blade assembly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G40 AL 0 Posted July 24, 2003 Can some measure the length of the wiper arms from the Lupo GTI, both driver and a passenger. I am going to carry out this to my G40 but I am still unsure of the sides that I need, I'd imagine its the shortest of the 2 I need? So what one would that be? Cheers Alan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted July 24, 2003 Drivers arm & drivers blade = approx 28.5 inches wiper spindle to blade tip. Drivers arm & passengers blade = approx 28 inches. I have 2 drivers arms, 1 drivers blade & 1 passengers blade fitted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted August 5, 2003 But just to put a spanner in the works - I have the original passenger+driver arm/blade setup, and can lift the wipers with the bonnet closed without any problem... The only thing is the passenger side doesn't rest completely horizontal as its slightly too long, but does mean I get the largest possible sweep area, so I really don't mind.

Mike Edwards 0 Posted August 5, 2003 Use 2 driver's side arms with the blades swapped over (passenger blade on driver's side etc) and it will sit properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
