Hello,

My Rabbit is my first car in my life :), which means I do not have enough knowledge about vehicles. I need to buy new windshield wipers, but I'm wondering what I should buy.

I could see ordinary wipers which cost about $7 in Walmart. I could also find wipers from Michelin that look like current wipers. They cost about $14 for each.

Are those expensive wipers worth the price? Or, should I use the expensive one due to the compatibility? Do I need to use wipers from VW? Any suggestion?

Thanks.

get the OEM ones from VW

since this is your first car, keep the phrase "you get what you pay for" in your head when buying parts.

Do conventional style wipers even fit on our cars?
BTW - as Jeri said just get the OEM wipers from the VW dealer.
Do it right.

When did you buy your rabbit and why is windshield wipers your first concern??

Are your current ones streaking? If not don't bother replacing them. I personally would not buy them from the dealer.

Ok. I'll try that.

Thanks for an advice :)

I have not tried conventional style wipers, yet. I don't know whether or not Michelin's wipers fit on our cars, either. They look very similar. BTW, I prefer safer way, OEM wipers :)

I bought my rabbit September 2006. Since I have not used my wipers frequently, my wipers do not make thick streaks. But, the windshield is not as clean as it might be; so, I think it's time to change them.

They are streaking little bit, and I have used them for about 10 months. I think it's time to change them because there are unexpected storms in summer. Can I ask you how to get them if you do not buy them from the dealer?

x2... are they OEM or something else Sarah?

I have used Bosche Icon wipers on all my other cars, I buy them at the auto parts store.

I loved them Snotty. They are more expensive but well worth it.

And they are a direct fit to the Rabbit wiper arms?

Excellent, I am running on a year now...it is probably about time for a change....excellent.

And they are a direct fit to the Rabbit wiper arms?

Yes they are

Yes they are Do they solve the water pull-back issue on the driver's side? I finally got to drive in a driving rain, and I agree with the posters in the other thread that an abnormally large slug of water pulls back onto the windshield from the left side...

I haven't had them on the rabbit, but I do know they are a direct fit
