Rear wiper arm

Somehow or another, the left wiper blade/arm came up missing on #2. The actual arm is there but no blade. Anybody have a part number or know if these can be secured at the local Autozone/Advance/OReily's type places? They are an odd size if I remember correctly.

Hello,


For the rear wiper blades on the Clubman , they comes in Pairs. One for each of the clubdoors. Different kind of slim single blade and they snap into the arm. Valeo set are currently in stock. Which are all factory fit.

I'll jump in here and say sorry for the high jack.
I haven't actually looked hard yet, but is there a way to adjust the pressure that the rear blades make on the windows?
Most times when I do use the wipers, the get about half the water/dirt off....and then it's streaky at best.
Thought I'd throw it out there to the experts, before I twisted something and it snapped off in my hands!

I've found that the issue is the dirt that builds up on the rear wipers from road blowback. The added grit ruins the blades and scratches the rear glass. When I walk by the car I pickup and snap the rear wipers.

Chucks of sand and dirt literally fall off.

Keeping them clean (wiped down) and using a product like RainX / Aquapel seems to really lessen the need to use them.

I've owned four VW Golfs of various generations. Rear wipers just all suffer the same fate.

I wish I could easily delete the rear wipers on the Clubman without needing to plug the body holes.
