rear wiper mod
- Thread starter mfthechef
- Start date
Mine has also passed an mot (with a punto wiper) so not sure it really matters, it's certainly still visable as i can see it reflect on my garage door when i come home and reverse at night.
Watch out though, different punto arms are different sizes, mine used to catch on the underside of my spoiler.
Think its the mk1 punto arm thats the best option.
ok the wiper looks smooth but whats the point if it catches, just do the mod and make the standard look pretty

Does the wiper still cover the same arc when it's modded or does it only go straight up or........?

you didnt get bollocked mate a point was spoken, you'v been around for a long time looking at your registered date and this question is readely available with a search, if it doesnt come up because your not a member well so be it.
i dont know wether you have been a member in the past and not renewed if thats the case you should have seen the question you asked.
when people come on who havnt even posted but become fully paid member or even a post or two and become member, can you blame us for not answering questions to people that got no care for the club?
bad luck with the car but we all get it from time to time, this aint moaning its just telling you like it is:rasp:

When I had the Punto wiper on my GTi I got no issues with it catching the spoiler I think it depends which one you get

brapp brapp!
Basically the punto wiper arm is optional, it looks smoother and more modern.
You can modify the wiper motor gears to allow the same movement with the wiper parking at the opposite end to standard, which means it sits neatly at the bottom.
It is very easy to do and takes 15mins max.
It is safe, will not cause any damage and does NOT obscure the brake light.
The punto arm is a direct replacement to the standard arm if you want the smother/simpler look.
It is in no way necessary.
Hope this helps, Joe
