Right guys is their an upgrade for the rear wiper arm c7 possibly ? I'm sure I read something a while back but I can't remember.

The reason I ask is some scumbag has riped my rear wiper arm off my car which I am livid about but whilst on with it I woundered if it was possible up upgrade it as I need the arm and cap.

Cheers for any input guys part number would help massively

Classba fitted a slightly different one but I can't find the post where he said where it was from but it looked pretty nice.

I fitted a carbon fibre rear wiper arm that I ordered from Carbon Designz in the USA - can't for the life of me remember how much it cost for the moment (clearly it was more than is sensible) but can dig further if you are interested

Carbon Designz are based in Germany, not USA as far I know. I have used them in the past and recommend them, although another RS owner says the exact opposite and had a bad experience.

i've swapped mine out for a c7 version a while back, seem to remember that the washer jet bit inside also needed replacing, so arm, cap cover and jet (3 parts) ignoring the blade.
I also found the overall length to be longer, thus positioning on the window might affect your decision.

when i had the wiper off, found myself looking at the rear for way to long contemplating removal of the wiper completely, to give better 'lines etc'

if you still interested i'll dig out that part numbers but may take me a few days?

I got rid of my rear wiper. Looks much better without it.
