    I bought one of the new VW Golfs earlier this year and the rear window wiper is getting a bit worn. Can anybody suggest a source for reasonably-priced spares? The local dealers take the concept of rip-off to a new level so I'm wondering is there a cheaper source. It's not so much the actual price of the wiper...just the damn principle of getting screwed by the dealer!

    Thanks!

    I would never buy a wiper from a car dealer (lol you'd be mad to)...

    Go to a Sunday market and pick one up for under €15 easy...

    Just make sure of the size... ;)

    Or even cheaper just get a pack of blade refills (just the rubber bits) and cut them to the correct length.
