Apologies for being lazy and asking here rather than looking it up. I've got a left hand drive (European) VW Golf MK6 (1.6 TDi, Oct 2010). Are the front clip-on wiper blades identical to those on the UK right hand drive cars ? I imagine that they are the same except that the longer and shorter one are swapped round. Basically, would wipers purchased from a UK retailer fit my car ?

Thanks in advance!

Just drive it to Halfords they will fit the correct blades or to any car parts shop.

This model will be fitted with the flat blade type wiper.I don,t see any reason why lhd should be any different from rhd,just swapped around.Buy them from Vw or Bosch,around £25 a pair.hth

Thanks all. The Alca brand (made in Germany) already come packaged with a pair of adaptors to fit left hand drive cars. So problem solved!
