Best Wiper Blades For Lupo Arms

[Ruggy 10]

What wiper blades are people using on their Lupo arms?

 

I'm using Bosch ones from Halfords at the moment, put them on just under a year ago and they're starting to miss parts of the windscreen already.

 

Cheers

The genuine Lupo one's are the best

Any idea of the manafacturer, or is it a case of getting them from the dealers?

[clumpy1 11]

Dealer's they are more expensive but will well outlast the aftermarket one's.

Nice one. I've done a quick Google search and veedubmachine are selling genuine VAG Lupo GTI aero blades for £32.33.

Cheer's but it say's "Genuine Vag replacement" can't see the pic clear enough to confirm if they are Genuine I'll give them a bell 2moro and ask good price though.

[Ruggy 10]

Ok mate, might do the same.

[clumpy1 11]

Here's some genuine one's on the bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-VW-Lupo-GTi-99-06-Aero-Wiper-Blades-/360247154533?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 bit more expensive but they are Genuine from the dealer.

[Ruggy 10]

Cool, I'll check if the veedubmachine ones are genuine and if not I'll order the eBay ones.

[clumpy1 11]

The ebay one's are free postage too veedubmachine's postage cost is £3.19 so a tenner cheaper but from the pic the mounting look's larger than on a genuine one :shrug:

[Ruggy 10]

Yeah, the veedubmachine ones do look a bit more clumpy, if you'll pardon the pun!

[clumpy1 11]

:lol: It's not often my name is useful however on this occasion it's perfect :thumbleft:

[Ruggy 10]

[clumpy1 11]

you can just replace the rubber on an aero blade, but there's a few cross section variations

 

750mm for £11 http://www.gsfcarparts.com/939aa9990

 

annoyingly that's 1 1/2 lupo blades length :lol:

Thanks for the above David.

I've just spoken to veedubmachine and they said that the Lupo GTI wiper blades they're selling for £32.33 are genuine VW parts.

 

As Clumpy said earlier though, they look a bit 'wrong' in the picture so I'm still a bit dubious.
