How do i change the back wiper please
« on: November 04, 2014, 10:22:32 pm »
Hi I am new to the forum :happy2:
I have tried to find a tutorial on changing the back wiper on my mk5 golf,
I have tried getting it off myself but I don't want to break it,
It just doesn't seem to come off, there must be the right way sorry if it is a stupid question but I am new hope you understand.
thanks

Pull it at the point where it hinges. It takes a little force. Wiggle it just a little bit as well.

This is exactly what I was thinking! Mine couldn't be easier and it is an early mk5, so I don't think its any different.
