How to Replace the Rear Wiper Blade on Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Windshield wipers

This guide covers the replacement of the wiper blade on the rear window of a Volkswagen Golf. Grasp the rear metal arm with a plastic cover, pull the wiper blade as shown in the video until it disengages from the clips (gently, without breaking the arm) and detach it from the left side. Fit the new wiper blade onto the arm; you will hear a click indicating it is secured. Finally, lower the wiper arm onto the rear window and test the operation of the new wiper blade. Perform the same operation for all other wiper blades on the front screen. It is always preferable to use original parts for better durability and quality.
