Rear wiper blade

[Russellnewnham]

Hi there,

I have just purchased an RS6 C7 2015. There are a couple of little things I need to fix but in general it is in excellent shape and I am loving driving it (although I find the ride a little rough for me and may change the 21 inch rim/wheels a little later down the track - I will need some advice on this in the future I guess).

Anyway, the rear wiper sounds like it's going to explode when activated - so I thought I would first replace the wiper blade. It looks like I can't simply slide in a new rubber blade as with most cars. I had a play and it looks like there is a special technique required to get the centre mount of the blade assembly off. I stopped though, in case I broke something.

Can someone tell/show me how to get the wiper arm off that needs to be replaced please?

Thanks

Russell

Does it just not pop off, I think they are the same as an RS4. Slide two fingers (one under each side of that bridge connector), and it should just pop off.. does the replacement look like this ? If so, that's how you remove it. the new one simply snaps into place. Sorry, I just realised you said ARM.. Normally, flip up the plastic cover, which should reveal the securing nut, the arm should be sitting on splines, a careful prise off should do it..

Thanks for that. I did actually mean just removing the item at the "bridge connector". I will give it a go when it stops pissing with rain.
