How to replace the windshield wipers on the Volkswagen Golf R.

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 8, MK 8, Golf Viii - Years 2019-2026

Below you will find instructions on how to properly replace the windshield wipers on your Volkswagen Golf R. The steps are really very simple and quick, as we will see in this short video. First, we need to position the wipers in a working position to make it easier to replace them. To do this, we just need to turn on the car's ignition and pull the lever on the right side of the steering wheel down once. At this point, we can proceed with the replacement. As explained in the video, the two wiper blades have different sizes. The shorter one goes on the passenger side and the longer one on the driver’s side. To replace them, all you need to do is lift them up and press the locking clip to remove them. Once removed, we can install the new blades, making sure that they fit correctly.
