I originaly changed mine for just an aftermarket one i got from fast parts. Most people change them becoz the leon rear wiper is rubbish..it smears and looks crap.

If your gonna change it. Its best to get a fabia estate wiper blade and wiper arm and a fabia hatchback wiper cover (as it has the fitting for rear wiper jet)

Looks much better, and works properly. Its little mods like this that make the biggest differences.

alternative is the aero wiper. kind of like the fabia one half way along then the remainder is alot thinner. as for options there are a few cominations, take a look at all the VAG cars about and what they have.
But be warned they wont all fit as the length of the arms vary car to car and on some the spray is intregated and on some not.

confused? you should be.. ;)

If you want an Aero wiper, get the Touran one - it's a inch shorter than the Leon one, but the washer works correctly.

Don't buy the Polo one (as advertised on ebay) as it's three inches shorter than stock.

does anyone have the part number of the items need from Skoda, would be handy as some parts guys can be a bit shitty if they dont have a reg or chassis number to search with [:@]

The details are also in the Leon FAQ elsewhere on the forum.

The 6Q Polo had the rear aero wiper, and it's too short for the Leon. You want the 1T Touran one - which looks the same but is nearly as long as the original Leon one.
