Mk3 or Mk4 rear wiper arm

Postby jos310581 on Sat Oct 27, 2007 11:10 am

Just Intrested what you people thought
as I cant decide.
On one hand its nice to keep it original
On the other hand the Mk4 looks more up to date

Let the voting begin. :-?

Personally I like the NMk4 wiper as it just looks like a bit of thought went in to it. The Mk3 item looks like the designers forgot about the back wiper and then just slapped one on with minutes to spare

i prefer the look of the mk4 wiper compared to the flimsy coat hanger look of the mk3 item , they should've come standard with the mk4 item imo.

The MK3 arm may look a bit weedy but i would go with it In order to keep the look of the car standard.

Mk4 all the way. Was spot on on my Si, until I got the smoothed boot. Do miss a rear wiper sometimes though.
