Stick to toby's instructions and you will do fine. Steve P. (Vag Parts Bin) helped me with mine. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: Doing the install of my single wiper...anything I should look out for??? (DUBMON)

The kit I have has pictures that are a little different. The site shows some cutting but my kit has a peice to deal with the positioning so you don't need to cut anything. Well, def. a helpful site. Tomorrow I should have it on. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: Doing the install of my single wiper...anything I should look out for??? (kevr6)

Thanks again for the link! The instructions were a big help! They sent me some ECU bracket that made no sense. I had to mod it into the two adapters shown on that site. The wiper blade was different than a buddy's who was there and the wiper arm was even different. The 20" blade had two tabs. one on each side which made the blade come up onto the rubber rain gutter of the windsheild. I had to go buy a new, shorter blade. The action is great, smooth as can be!

Oops: Thanks to Matt for letting use his garage and for feeding us, thanks to Felix for letting me pick his brain since he did his first, thanks to Dave for....I'll think of something and Mike and Trevor also! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Toby came through with the sweet instructions...unfortunately I did not have them 6 months ago when I did mine!! I love the kit, it really looks and works well...as a matter of fact I am leaving for work and it is raining, so I will walk in smiling...

Re: Doing the install of my single wiper...anything I should look out for??? (EuroStyle)

use a second bracket to hold the ecu the stock bonrath one wasn't up to the task and the thing made the worst rattle in the world....
I mean the worst
It made me not want to drive the car
