I’m new to the mk7. I need wipers. What size are the the front wipers and is there much of a selection?

Got some Trico blades. Seem to work but the arms dont go under the hood fully from the service position.

26 and 18 fronts, 11 rear.

Dealers want $52 for the Mexican made OEM front set. I think that's too pricey. Shop around.

I’ve been using these (wagon but fronts same for golf) with good results.
Front:
Valeo 574707 (VM387) Silencio X-TRM Wiper Blade Set - 21"/19" (Pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SRACAOO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_b6PuAb03S5GPZ

Rear:
TRICO Exact Fit 11-H Rear Beam Wiper Blade - 11" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FADIYZK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_56PuAb1WKHMR8
On those Valeo's Nutty linked, just make sure you make the correct drop-down selection for 26/18 and not the 21/19 set directly linked. Just FYI.

The rear ones suck for the GSW. The new one I bought from dealer a few weeks ago leaves a missed spot on the way back down. It was just under $20:mad:. I'll see if any local stores carry a rear wiper that may be better. The front wipers are still ok, not sure if they are still the original blades from factory or if they were replaced before I bought car.

I selected the 26/18 from the Amazon which was model 389 and while the size was correct the mount to the factory wiper arms did not match. Does anyone know what model/size of the Valeo works for the 2015 Golf?

amazon

Bosch Aero Twin A863S $26, can't beat them, OEM mounts no adapter. I has some rainx ones on the mk5 but couldn't stand the chunky adapter.

When you're in the market for a Bosch rear wiper, skip Amazon.

Bosch and Amazon both list a 280mm (11") wiper (p/n A282H) as correct for a VW Golf Mk 7 rear application, but OE size is 300mm (12"). The Bosch catalog does show a 300mm size in their "Rear" line (p/n A311H), but Amazon does not show this part number as an option in the "Style" drop down list when 12" is selected in the "Size" list.

FWIW, the mounting tab is correct on this one.

Dang! And I just posted an answer and a comment on Amazon yesterday to a question and a review regarding the correct fit for Mk7 rears.

I use a Trico 11H for the rear- just bought one off ebay for under $9 w/ free shipping.... my front ones are going on a year old and still doing good.
