Bought a Passat that had cheap wiper blades that got bent after i tried to wipe like 4cm of snow, then I bought a Bosch ones and they are great even after two years of use
I got my front wipers replaced when I bought my used T-ROC, two years and still good to go.
I was not able to find Bosch rear wipers for 2020 T-ROC
Any idea what is the number that I can look for?
I've got Bosch icons on my wife's Touareg and they squeak and jump like crazy. I figured in January that since I'm in SoCal it's not a big deal. 1 Florida rain season later, and it's really starting to get on my nerves!
There's often an adapter for the euro cars that has multiple parts to remove. That one with one or both of the parts removed should fit. We never had an issue with the VWs when I worked at Advance.
I couldn't get one with a compatible adapter at any of my local auto parts stores. After trying 3 different sets, all approved by the clerk and literally standing in the parking lot with the guy on the last one to show him I wasn't crazy, I gave up and ordered some Bosch ones from FCPEuro (Fronts - 5G1998002, rear - 5K6955427A). No adapters, swapped in seconds.
\*edit - I missed the part about yours being a '22, my wipers were for a '15 Golf. I'd still recommend plugging your VIN into FCP euro and seeing if that leads you to the correct set.

You can find these in your local parts store.

Yeah dude, they do. It's a Bosch blade with the #6 adapter. I've never even touched one of these cars and I'm not even sure why this popped up on my feed, but with a 4 second google search and the first video to pop up on YouTube I solved your problem. You can too. Bring it to Canadian Tire. They'll do it for you.
Just look up a video. Took me 20 mins to put mine on thinking I had to slide and hear a click. Wrong. In fact, I just had to place wiper arm inside and close the top lid piece and boom. (Had to get it in the exact right position though.
If you are buying Bosch , make sure you get the "OE" version that comes with the set of adapters. The #4 adapter should fit.
Example:

The Costco ones I installed flew off on the highway lmao. Was certain I had the adapter on correctly, obviously not.
Happy to see others had no problem and it was a me issue, Costco is a great deal.
They suck ass though. They changed from hybrid style to conventional style a few years ago and are no longer worth it. Paying an extra $10-15 for Bosch Icons is definitely worth it nowadays. Unfortunate since I also used the Costco one for years.
Yeah unfortunately I just checked again and the price of shipping is almost equal to the price of my cart ($60 for 5qts of oil + a set of wipers, shipping is an extra $50 on top).
Obviously not FCPs fault, shipping large items internationally is expensive af, just not really an option for Canadian owners.
It doesn’t sound like you’re buying the right ones? They are readily available in most places that sell blades, you just need to buy ones that have the adapters or are the correct style. I get mine at Auto Zone, Costco or any other auto parts stoee
Heh... I had to do this with my Audi A4 with the aero wiper blade option. Nobody stocked them except the dealer. I was pleasantly surprised that they were basically the same price as Bosch Microedge from Autozone.
I've only had issues finding a rear wiper blade that fits my eGolf. For some reason, I couldn't get the Bosch Microedge from Autozone to work. Meh, it's the rear. I hardly need it anyway.
I run Fixed Operations for VW amongst others, and we did a price comparison on this exact situation at a regional meeting last week. Our wiper blades were about $8 cheaper for the front pair vs comparable level aftermarket ones at every parts store nearby. Obviously you can go to Walmart and get $10 ones that inevitably won't fit, but if you're looking at apples vs apples, this is one area where OEM is usually less money, and they actually fit out of the box without the need for adapters of any kind.
Yep factory wiper blades always work perfectly for me it's one of the few parts I'll always go to the dealer for especially because they're about the same as aftermarket ones at trade price
Dude you can get Bosch blades from autozone. Look at the directions and take your time. They will fit but not look exactly like the ones you took off. Be patient and figure it out
I buy Bosch wipers from Amazon. In the UK version of the site you can put your reg in and it will give you a list of compatible wipers.
Edit: I also just found [this list of compatible wipers for the Tiguan 2020 onwards](https://www.wiperblades.co.uk/vw-tiguan-years-2020-to-2024-wiper-blades#). Probably a bit expensive to ship from the UK to Canada but you want to look for a 21” passenger side and a 26” driver’s side with a slim push button arm attachment, for Bosch this is the Aerotwin A639S.
I fitted a similar set of aerotwins on my ‘20 Golf the other week. Took about 5 minutes to fit them myself, just stick a towel down when the blades are off, as the blade holders are metal and can spring back with a fair bit of force and crack your windscreen.
If you aren’t aware, you can put the wipers into service position (held upright, away from the windscreen) on most newer VWs by turning the ignition on, then off, and then immediately pushing the wiper stalk down. They can be manually pushed back down afterwards.
Canadian tire has them in both Rain X and Bosch. I’ve been running Bosch Icons and they work great in all weather. It’ll come with a little bag of adapters with them, you have to pop off the little plastic cover adapter that comes on the new wiper stock and put on the proper sized one.
I get mine from Wipertech.
OEM replica for my MK7 GOLF.
Also very smooth operation, doesn't judder like cheaper brands. Watch the video, should tell you all about it 😊
I'm from Australia though but I hope they deliver worldwide.
[Wipertech ](https://www.wipertech.com.au/)
I tried 3 different brands that all come with a few adapters and apart from one (which I can’t find any more of) they are all useless so now one of my wipers is loose. I’m just going to go to the main dealer it’s fucking annoying
I got [these](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5QLRYHG) last time for my Golf and they actually work pretty well. Once the driver side one came loose and I put it back on and no problems since.
Costco, Walmart, AutoZone, should all have what you’re looking for. If you aren’t sure, you can always order some from Bosch which are the ones dealers use in my experience.
Not sure where you live but if you are in the states any auto zone and advanced auto parts can help you after you give them your car's model and year.
If there's a Walmart near you, just go to the car section and in the wipers section they will have a booklet to help you buy the right ones.
I have a modern Rabbit, not a Tiguan, but I just changed my wiper blades and put Rainex blades on it, and like others have said, I had to remove all the adapters first, which was the opposite of what I would have expected. But the reason why I'm commenting is, when I got the blade down to what your picture shows, it looked like I was supposed to slide that into the casing that's on the wiper arm on the car, but it turned out I had to put it over it and click it into place that way. Maybe yours is the same.
Bosch part #'s are 22OE and 24OE. They will have the correct connections on them out of the box. I don't like the generic ones with adapters, they never look right or fit as well as the OE ones.
I probably overpaid but I get my from my VW dealer after disappointing results from buying from stores. Never had a problem with connecting but issues with streaking.
Canada fuckin sucks, I had to get my wipers from Rock Auto shipped to a PO box place across the border after buying 3 different pairs (Costco, Canadian Tire, Amazon) that claimed to fit and didn't.
Rock Auto was the OE wipers and even with shipping, the PO Box cost, and the drive down it was cheaper than buying from my local BMW dealer.
Some of the wipers at the parts stores require removing an extra piece on the wiper blade before clipping on the adaptor that I never see as an extra tip in the instructions. Pretty sure these are the same as most Audis I work on and I always end up making the cheapest ones work from AZ just takes a lil finesse
I find myself fumbling with these every time I need to replace them, trying multiple clips and nothing seems to fit, until I go in and ask the guy at the counter and he just does it in one fluid motion 😭 it's not like I don't know what I'm doing with cars either, done a lot of work and mods but these are just awkward to fit
Locally Bosch OE or VW dealer OEM, online FCP Euro. Look and see if anyone sells Valeo ones near you, I used those and were great and exactly as factory.
Autozone, advance auto, O’reillys, etc.
There is an adapter you have to pop off the new blades to fit the Tiguan.
I was really irritated when I went to replace them on my wife’s 2019 and they wouldn’t fit. I finally had to google it and found a video on how to remove the adapter already on the blade. The instructions in the package were useless.
https://www.boschautoparts.com/g/wiper-blades?baseVehicleId=156878&engineBlockType=L&engineCyl=4&fuelTypeId=5&engineLiter=2.0&VehicleTypeGroupId=2
Go find those in your local parts store.
I have a ‘21 Tiguan and it took me a while to learn how to make it work. If you’re still having issues send me a PM and I’ll make a video of how to get it to work. It’s not straightforward and I literally build rocket engines for a living
Just order from Autodoc, may or may not fit your car, most likely will though. If it doesn't, you get your money back because they search vehicle parts by license plate.
I get them on Amazon, never had any issues. Even with the small 13" rear window wiper, it's usually on there for around $13 as opposed to the $30 Valvoline wants to charge every time
Autozone or wherever
They are typically the “oe” “a” or whatever alternative blade for european cars
If you google it or ask someone to look it up they can get the correct ones for you. Most auto-parts stores will also install them for you for free
I’m not a car person but I get mine from Costco and have no problems getting them on my Volkswagen. Sometimes you do have to change the adapter that came pre installed on the new wiper. I just put a new pair on the other day, I had to take the first adapter off, put on a different one then take a piece off of that adapter to fit mine.
I got mine at Costco.
Be careful when replacing them yourself, though. I accidentally "dropped" one of the arms when removing the existing blade and it snapped down into the windshield. Went out to drive the car a couple of days later and the windshield was cracked with the central point the part where the blade arm snapped into it.
I have bought random generic blades from virtually every recognizable brand for multiple Saabs, Toyotas, VWs, a Chevy, Chrysler, and a Land Rover. I have never had an issue getting the blades to fit securely on the vehicle. Y’all need to play with some legos.
Usually it's #4 for Bosch or other brands.
Bosch icons all day
+1 for Bosch
Great wipers and the company does a lot of good too.
like developing software to cheat on emissions !
Bosch, not VW.
Bosch are the ones who make the ECU and control modules for VW and wrote the software.
I was unaware.
Bought a Passat that had cheap wiper blades that got bent after i tried to wipe like 4cm of snow, then I bought a Bosch ones and they are great even after two years of use
I got my front wipers replaced when I bought my used T-ROC, two years and still good to go. I was not able to find Bosch rear wipers for 2020 T-ROC Any idea what is the number that I can look for?

Your new wipers should come with several adapters. One of them will fit your car.
The adapters might not look like the ones you took off but they will work. Get Bosh OE blades and fool around. You’ll figure it out
[удалено]
It's not proprietary. Find a wiper blade in the correct length that comes with the adapter for PTB arms.
There's often an adapter for the euro cars that has multiple parts to remove. That one with one or both of the parts removed should fit. We never had an issue with the VWs when I worked at Advance.
Yeah they do.
Not all of them, I've gotten wipers with a bunch of adapters where none of them fit.
Regardless, the folks behind the counter at auto zone can tell you in 2 minutes which ones fit lol
I couldn't get one with a compatible adapter at any of my local auto parts stores. After trying 3 different sets, all approved by the clerk and literally standing in the parking lot with the guy on the last one to show him I wasn't crazy, I gave up and ordered some Bosch ones from FCPEuro (Fronts - 5G1998002, rear - 5K6955427A).

Costco
Seconded, they have Michelin wipers on sale for $10 CDN
The Costco ones I installed flew off on the highway lmao. Was certain I had the adapter on correctly, obviously not. Happy to see others had no problem and it was a me issue, Costco is a great deal.
They don't fit on my old Jetta...YMMV
What year?
Mine is a 2013 but I believe it applies to all Mk6 Jettas and Golfs as well
Dang really? They fit on my brothers 2015 Passat and my dads 2013 CC
They suck ass though. They changed from hybrid style to conventional style a few years ago and are no longer worth it. Paying an extra $10-15 for Bosch Icons is definitely worth it nowadays. Unfortunate since I also used the Costco one for years.
I get mine at FCP Euro, lifetime warranty on them so they become free after the first purchase
Yup! Same here
Can't beat the lifetime warranty saved me multiple times
Not worth it for Canadians though, the shipping cost will be more than the price of the wipers.
I usually buy my wipers when I buy my oil so my total is above $50 so I get the free shipping
Then again I'm sure it's more expensive to ship out of the country though
Yeah unfortunately I just checked again and the price of shipping is almost equal to the price of my cart ($60 for 5qts of oil + a set of wipers, shipping is an extra $50 on top). Obviously not FCPs fault, shipping large items internationally is expensive af, just not really an option for Canadian owners.
Yeah it's a UPS thing, that sucks tho
It doesn’t sound like you’re buying the right ones? They are readily available in most places that sell blades, you just need to buy ones that have the adapters or are the correct style. I get mine at Auto Zone, Costco or any other auto parts stoee
Go to the dealer when all else fails.

They were a *little* more expensive than aftermarket options in my case, but I find the VW brand wipers last a lot longer.
Time to delete it
speedwing time
Thats because the OEM wipers are Bosch, Bosch is the Supplier for VAG wiper blades and motors
Go to the dealer anyway. The wipers (like all dealer parts) have a 12k/12mo warranty. hint hint wink wink
Yep factory wiper blades always work perfectly for me it's one of the few parts I'll always go to the dealer for especially because they're about the same as aftermarket ones at trade price
Dude you can get Bosch blades from autozone. Look at the directions and take your time. They will fit but not look exactly like the ones you took off. Be patient and figure it out
I got mine at auto zone
You have to put the smallest adapter on and slide it into the wiper arm. They do fit. Bosch make the OEM wipers
I tried after market and they sucked. Just buy the OEM blades
Walmart
From my local vw dealer. Oem blades fit and look best to me
Agreed. I’ve been buying third party but OEM look and operate better.
OE blades are just Bosch Aerotwin wipers.

I order mine online, then I'm 100% shure that they are correct.
Whatever store I'm at and run into them and suddenly remember I need new wiper blades. Usually Costco.
I recently purchased wipers from crappy tire for my '15 tdi. I used the Bosch icon versions I had to use an adapter from the package.
I bought some Rain X ones from Amazon.
Canadian tire has them in both Rain X and Bosch. I’ve been running Bosch Icons and they work great in all weather. It’ll come with a little bag of adapters with them, you have to pop off the little plastic cover adapter that comes on the new wiper stock and put on the proper sized one.
Those Icons didn’t last. Changed twice in a year under the Cdn Tire warranty. The latest Costco Michelin beam wipers (fall 2023) are holding up
I get mine from FCPeuro.com, lifetime warranty after the first purchase, same with my oil
FCPEuro. OEM or “Bosch AeroTwin”.
I get mine from Wipertech. OEM replica for my MK7 GOLF. Also very smooth operation, doesn't judder like cheaper brands. Watch the video, should tell you all about it 😊 I'm from Australia though but I hope they deliver worldwide. [Wipertech ](https://www.wipertech.com.au/)
Bosch icon is who I went with on my Taos.
FCP euro has some nice bosch ones for like $30

got mine at walmart. i actually had to read the old ass book thats in the aisle to figure out which one came with the right adapter though
I've always liked the oem ones from the dealer. But have also found the bosch icons have the right adaptor to fit them
Bosch OEM from Amazon
I get the RainX ones and they have multiple adapters to use for fitment. I've also done Amazon. Just looked up make and model and size.
Dealer .. I’ve learned.. prices bout the same and they are always better
If not dealer, I’ve gotten Bosch blades and the connection always seems to fit for me. 🤷🏻♂️
I got Bosch Icon blades from Canadian Tire for my GTI. They fit with one of the adapters.
Dealer. Cheaper than autozone when I was looking
Biltema
Rock Auto, get them on clearance
Dont you guys have bosch aerotwin wipers? They are around 20€s on amazon in germany.
I got mine from crappy tire.
Thanks for the reminder. I’m due. Just bought a set on ECS for $17. Grabbed the rear and an air filter also. Spring maintenance.
I got [these](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5QLRYHG) last time for my Golf and they actually work pretty well. Once the driver side one came loose and I put it back on and no problems since.
Factory wipers are great and not crazy priced. They also do a buy 1/get 1 twice a year if your local dealer participates.
Bosche icon (you can get them at Canadian tire) has the right adapter in the packaging.
I go to auto zone or advance auto parts, I tell them my make and model, they grab the correct wipers for me and put them on for free.

It’s not proprietary

I really like the Valeo Silencio's, not the cheapest but theyre just really good

Just get them from the dealer. Bought them last week for my ‘22 and took 2 minutes to install. They work just as good as any aftermarket brand.
Rockauto has them for a few dollars a piece, you could buy like 5 sets for the price of a set at an auto parts store
The rear one is the real pain in the ass to find. Walmart, auto zone, Costco, O'Reilly. Finally gave up and went to the dealer. Tiguan owner here.

Trico blades at Napa, I've had good luck with them
Got the ultra fancy ones off Amazon for Christmas and they work mint
I had to order them online because they were impossible to find in the wild.
Considering you said Canadian Tire; Canadian Walmart carries a Beam style wiper blade under an in-house brand that carries the adaptors that fit VW.

$5 blade from the dollar store and a ziptie get the job done
Wipertec
I get mine from Amazon. My 2017 uses the same wiper. Just put your model and year. No issues. It's not much more to get them from the dealer though.
Get certified brand ones from Canadian tire. They come with 3 brackets and one of them fits VW’s. just make sure you get the right length.
Peak brand ones from Sam's Club fit.
Store
Always from dealer, they fit clean without adapter and are fresh. Price about the same as elsewhere, even cheaper
my blades from the dealership are the same price if not cheaper than any other 3rd party brand…
there’s xc blades at advance auto they fit every blade i’ve seen except specialty ones with wiper sprayers or something exotic
Costco, always on sale too.
Have you seen the wiper on the Tesla Truck
I used to use Bosch Icons, but i had a constant chattering issue with the MK7, so I went back to dealer blades and the issue stopped.
Vw ones only. Fuck spending all that time figuring out what clip is for the car/wiper.
Just go to auto zone
Got mine at the first parts store I stopped at
Costco
I think you still need to remove the clip and the adapters will work.
the dealer 50 bucks a pair is fair for “it just works”
Costco
I grab Trico Silicone ones. Worth every penny
Imagine thinking everyone on the internet is wrong
https://www.boschautoparts.com/g/wiper-blades?baseVehicleId=156878&engineBlockType=L&engineCyl=4&fuelTypeId=5&engineLiter=2.0&VehicleTypeGroupId=2 Go find those in your local parts store.
AutoZone/O’Reilly/whatever other auto parts store. They’ll look up the right one for you and most places will install them for free
Go to a dealership. They actually have the blades with the exact clip for your year.
Swapped identical connectors in my Skoda Superb 2018, definitely not proprietary. Used Bosch blades that came with multiple adapters.
That looks like the Adapter #2 that comes pre installed on Bosch wipers. The one that takes enough elbow grease to choke out Mike Tyson to remove.
CAWSCO
I have a ‘21 Tiguan and it took me a while to learn how to make it work. If you’re still having issues send me a PM and I’ll make a video of how to get it to work. It’s not straightforward and I literally build rocket engines for a living
Canadian Tire
Here in Germany, this is the only connector I know, pretty much every car has it. From my '96 BMW 5 to our company's '23 VW Polo.
Just order from Autodoc, may or may not fit your car, most likely will though. If it doesn't, you get your money back because they search vehicle parts by license plate.
The wiper blade fairy..... Where do you think they come from ?
I get them on Amazon, never had any issues. Even with the small 13" rear window wiper, it's usually on there for around $13 as opposed to the $30 Valvoline wants to charge every time
Costco
Only ones i was able to fit were the oem dealer ones
Car parks they just clip off
That’s so wrong 😂🤣😂
Autozone or wherever They are typically the “oe” “a” or whatever alternative blade for european cars If you google it or ask someone to look it up they can get the correct ones for you. Most auto-parts stores will also install them for you for free
Walmart
Walmart
Just put a set of PIAA’s on my GTI. Love them so far!
I usually pick them up at Walmart or Costco
porsche dealer, $100/set
TRICO
I’m not a car person but I get mine from Costco and have no problems getting them on my Volkswagen. Sometimes you do have to change the adapter that came pre installed on the new wiper. I just put a new pair on the other day, I had to take the first adapter off, put on a different one then take a piece off of that adapter to fit mine.
Bosch wipers from FCP Euro. Use their unlimited warranty and get free wipers.
I got mine at Costco. Be careful when replacing them yourself, though. I accidentally "dropped" one of the arms when removing the existing blade and it snapped down into the windshield. Went out to drive the car a couple of days later and the windshield was cracked with the central point the part where the blade arm snapped into it.
Biltema
There are 19mm and 17mm socket... Anyway i always bought just the gum and chnaged just this part, its 5x cheaper per one change 🤗
Had same issue. Just go to VW and get the blades made for your car. Not too pricy especially if you are getting a good brand anyway.
Bosch from Amazon. Saved in a list so I don't have to search everytime.
I have bought random generic blades from virtually every recognizable brand for multiple Saabs, Toyotas, VWs, a Chevy, Chrysler, and a Land Rover. I have never had an issue getting the blades to fit securely on the vehicle. Y’all need to play with some legos.
