Removing the wiper blade from a Volkswagen Golf 4? Here’s how to do it. Open the front bonnet and lift it, remove the screw covers (use a screwdriver). Unscrew the securing screws with a socket spanner.

Disconnect the metal arm from the locking thread. Fit a new arm (screw it into the base of the arm) and tighten the securing screw.

Fit the new blade onto the new arm. Remove the adjacent wiper blade if damaged. Close the front bonnet and test the operation using the lever next to the steering wheel.
