Good to know

Check against your old blades

Measure the rubber strip from end to end. It should match 18".

About this data

Fit data confirmed by 2 independent sources. Model years that share identical blades are grouped on one page.

How to fit your new blades

  1. Lift the arm

    Pull the wiper arm away from the glass until it stays up. Put a towel on the windshield in case the arm snaps back.

  2. Release the old blade

    Press the tab where the blade connects to the hook, then slide the blade down and off the arm.

  3. Clip on the new blade

    Slide the new blade's adapter up into the hook until it clicks. Most blades ship with a J-hook adapter already fitted.

  4. Lower the arm and test

    Gently rest the arm back against the glass. Spray your washer fluid once to check for clean wipes without streaks or chatter.

Do all 1985–1992 Volkswagen Golf model years use the same wipers?

J-Hook (9×3 mm). Most replacement blades include an adapter for it, so check the adapter chart in the package.

Can I use a wiper blade one size longer or shorter?

Stick with the listed sizes. A longer blade can hit the windshield frame or the other blade, while a shorter one leaves an unwiped gap. If your old blades don’t match our sizes, measure them end to end.

How often should I replace my wiper blades?

Most drivers change them every 6 to 12 months. Swap them sooner if they start to streak, chatter, or miss spots.
