dazzyvr6 0 Posted December 1, 2003 are there any other alternatives to the lupo wipers??when ever someone asks about the wipers everyone just point to the lupo wipers and the mods lock the thread,but like me not everyone like the look of the lupo wipers,they look like a pair of eels sliding around your windscreen,so what else is out there,and ive already done the dremmel mod which didnt make it that much better,but as usuall i cant put the question anywhere else because the mods just lock it :mad: :evil: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted December 1, 2003 dazzyvr6, Rain X or Rain wizard is the other option. I used to use Rain Wizard, Its very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted December 1, 2003 are there any other alternatives to the lupo wipers??when ever someone asks about the wipers everyone just point to the lupo wipers and the mods lock the thread,but like me not everyone like the look of the lupo wipers,they look like a pair of eels sliding around your windscreen,so what else is out there,and ive already done the dremmel mod which didnt make it that much better,but as usuall i cant put the question anywhere else because the mods just lock it You could also put an extra washer between the arm and the spindle and also bend the arm slightly, these with the dremmel will make a huge improvement but still not as much as the lupo mod!! Anyways - the Lupo arms are starting to look standard spec now so many people have them fitted, I must admit I wasn't too keen when I first saw them on a car but love them now :) If you use the car as a daily driver this is one of the best and cheapest mods to do!

Eliot I 0 Posted December 2, 2003 ***** Wiper Mod that I did today ***** I went to the dealers cancelled my order for the old part numbers cause they are obsolete and bought 2 x V6X2 998 406 blades and arms, cost me £33 with my discount, fitted them with no probs did not need anything else and work a treat with no fouling. These are what i used and the parts department said that is what everyone is buying. Now going out for a drive in the rain. :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ross.taylor 0 Posted December 4, 2003 Has anyone tried using bosch wiper blades for lupos on the new arms? Are they any better? Surely they have made some blades, they seem to have blades for all cars at Halfords. Have been away from this thread for a bit, so whats the latest, does the new part number get you blade and wiper? And is it a different number for left and right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 5, 2003 Got an unexpected surprise at the dealers today. I went in and asked for the lupo blades to replace mine as they're worn. He then popped out the back and returned with the passenger and driver's blades - complete with two drivers arms. I explained I only needed the blades but he just sold me the whole lot for the price of two blades, what a result :lol: He was already aware of the Corrado mod! Some dealers it seems are on our side! Cool. I intend to use one of the spare arms for the rear wiper. I plan to drill out the arm pins from the rear wiper and the lupo one and swap them over with new pins. Voila!

chrishill 0 Posted December 6, 2003 just done mine, has to be the easiest mod there is! Chris Corrado got the part numbers spot on, although i did have one dealer get a little confused with the 'v' at the start, then even more confused when he asked what year my lupo was, and i said i didnt have one, they were for a corrado! "er, do you not want corrado ones then??" NO!!! :D 1x V6X2 998 406 1x V6X2 998 405 £40 from my dealer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 6, 2003 If you look on EKTA, there is a whole page of possible Lupo blades and arms! Basically you just need to tell the parts man you need the 'Areo' blades from current Lupo GTIs, i.e. 2003 model year. K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
