Hi

Finally got back on the site - was getting withdrawal symptoms!

 

Anyone know how to change a rear blade on a Mk2?

Front ones couldn't be easier - side lock system, but the back one's got me beat

 

Just want to know for future reference - don't ned to change anything now. Haynes doesn't help

 

Thanks

Is this the new shape model ? Normally the arm just unclips from the blade

On mine I pulled the rubber out and fitted a length cut from a Tesco's wiper blade

It bends enough to be fed into the middle

It's a 2008 hatch back - the facelift version.

The arm doesn't have a conventional hook design, nor is it the newer "sidelock" type which I have on the front. The blade is semi-concealed by the arm. It looks like there's some sort of clip holding it inside the arm, but I'm afraid of breaking it..
