Why you want do that? I think you can get Aero wipers.

My washer jets are two single jets each side, that for the life of me, I can not get them to hit the screen in the right place on both sides. I think some people have fitted a fan spray (from a Golf I believe) which is supposed to be better. I could not find out which ones they were though :(

Volkswagen do an Aero wiper blades only conversion kit for the Passat which fits the A3 (and B5 RS4, I've done both). I don't think it's listed for any other model. Saves buying new arms.
