The wiper blades of renowned brands, which were also used by Volkswagen at that time, are no longer equipped with the correct mounting clamps today, our classic Volkswagen is unfortunately no longer supported as far as wipers are concerned.
You can reuse your old brackets but, due to their age, they are no longer reliable. We therefore advise you to always order extra brackets.
When this reproduction was made, a new original part was used as a model for this part, the result being new wiper brackets that are identical to the original.
Remark for Karmann Ghia:
The wiper blades supplied today for Karmann Ghia have a thicker mounting shaft than what was used by Volkswagen at the time. In order to use the recommended clamp, it is necessary to drill it slightly larger in the following manner:
- Mount the clamp in the wiper arm without the wiper blade
- Measure the diameter of the shaft of the wiper blade
- Drill the clamp on the right diameter
- Disassemble the clamp and click it on the wiper blade
- Slide the assembly onto the wiper arm.
