Completed that mission. Big improvement on wiper placement. No more downward movement from resting position. Only issue I had is with the measurements \"between tips of wiper lips and upper edge of plenum chamber cover\". Manual says 17.5.on right side and 10mm on left. I have standard size wiper blades (22' & 19\"). I didn't make this measurement but know by looking at it, it's larger than 17.5mm If I were to lower the blade any further, the tip of the blade would rub against the right side cowl lip. These are 22\" bosch blades. Maybe the OEM VW blades are a little shorter and would allow a slightly lower placement. I'm satisfied with the turn out. Much better that what it was.
You need to look for Bosch Aerotwin 102s, they are definitely better.
Get Trico winter blades. They work fine when the weather is cool/cold.
I haven’t found anything better than Bosch.
Bosch Evolutions for my winter weather
we love the TRICO Titans
I've always had good results from Bosch Icon wipers.
Bosch Icon and it's not even close
Bosch icon I think was the best wiper I've used. Outlast most others I've had.
I buy the bosch ones for my 2012. One of the metal-frame ones broke on me once and scratched a nice semi-circle in my windshield so I'm not going back to that type.
