Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Hi all switching my mk4 rear wiper arm with the mr5 arm, anyone know how to get the mr4 arm off?
    Cheers

    Pop the cap off (it just clips in place). Then carefully pry/ease the arm off. A spray of WD40 or some other lubricant might be needed if it's stuck on tight. Be aware that the Aero wiper cap (MKV and Polo are the same) is too "tall" for the MkIV and you need to sand/cut back where it sits against the glass. If you don't it won't clip on properly and you also will scratch your glass. You can buy pre-modified caps from the some of the online sellers like ECS tuning etc.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Trent
