Wiper Blades

[Johnbu]

it's coming to winter again, and my one year old wiper blades are starting to shudder again sometimes.

rather than pay the $47 + GST x 2 ($103) again for wiper blades from VW, is there a cheaper alternative to replacing say the blades and not the whole arm?

VW Parts $11 each for the inserts

You cut them to the proper length and slide them in. Easy 123. Comes with spare end caps too.

To be clear, they're $11 each from your friendly VW Dealer parts department.

Camberwell VW only charges me $30 something each for them. I figure $60ish a year is fine for the blades which are great quality.

Thanks guys.

looks like the inserts for me.

I'll pick up a pair when I'll go to South Yarra VW in a fortnight's time.
