How to Replace the Rear Wiper on a Polo?
2 Answers
The method for replacing the rear wiper on a Polo is as follows: 1. Lift the wiper arm, open the clip cover in the middle of the wiper, press the internal clip pin, and thread the wiper through the clip cover to remove it; 2. Following the removal sequence, install the new wiper that has been prepared in advance, and then cover the clip. Taking the 2021 Polo Plus 1.5L Manual Panorama Enjoyment Edition as an example: its dimensions are 4053mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2564mm. It is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and has a top speed of 190 kilometers per hour.
Replacing the rear wiper blade on a Volkswagen Polo is quite simple, and I've done it several times myself. First, prepare a new wiper blade, preferably an OEM model like the 18-inch clip-on type to ensure compatibility. Before starting, turn off the engine to prevent accidental movement of the wiper arm that could cause injury. Lift the rear wiper arm, which has a small slot, then gently press the release button on the old wiper blade and push it outward to remove it. Align the new wiper blade with the slot and push it in until you hear a click, indicating it's securely fastened. Finally, test the wiper function and remember to clean the contact points on the wiper arm to prevent dust from affecting performance. The whole process takes just a few minutes and saves you about 100 yuan in labor costs. Regularly checking the wiper condition every six months can extend its lifespan, especially replacing it before the rainy season. If the clip feels too tight, avoid pulling forcefully to prevent breakage—just apply a bit of lubricant. I recommend buying affordable parts online to save costs.
