I have found a small split in my rear wiper blade
So I am needing to replace it.
I went to halfords as was closest and ordered one. But when I went to collect I was told that 2010 onwards has a different blades that they cannot get in.
Does anyone know if this is true and if so anyone know the part number?
Thanks

Not as far as I'm aware. Halfords prices for wipers are pretty expensive.

I bought the rear one off a VW dealer through ebay just a couple of months ago. Im sure it was around £10 delivered.
I can rely on my car, it's my Roc!!!
