Phil Gti 8 Posted March 13 Do Gti's have different brands and or styles of wiper arms? I need the plastic caps at the base of the arms that cover the securing nut to spindle. So far I have found two pairs of Valeo arms, but the caps are the wrong size for my wiper arms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Gti 8 Posted March 14 Ok, I can get the Valeo caps from someone I know breaking a 205. They do not fit my wiper arms. That is why I am asking if other brands of arm were fitted. My wiper arms do not seem to have a brand stamped on them, unlike the Valeo ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Gti 8 Posted March 15 Ahhh, everyday is a school day. Thank you. I will swap mine to a pair of Valeo ones. Someone I know is breaking a 5dr that have the arms and caps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Gti 8 Posted March 15 I think your nick name should be the Oracle. That is really nerdy 205 knowledge, I like it lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRDT 146 Posted March 15 I'm more of a 309 guy but the 309 front wipers setup is identical aside from the arms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRDT 146 Posted March 17 You're right, rods are the same and I suspected the complete assembly kit wasn't the same part number to accomodate SWF specific parts (no SWF on the 309) but in fact it's probably the spindles that are not exactly the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Gti 8 Posted March 20 It turns out that the wiper arms I thought I could buy are not for sale. So I still need the wiper arms caps. My arms don't have any manufactuer markings on them. I have seen Valeo ones and they are stamped with the brand on them. Does anybody have the correct size caps or a pair of arms with caps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
