Cleaning and changing wiper blades

Wiper blades with a graphite coating are installed at the factory. The graphite coating allows the wiper blade to glide

easily over the window. A damaged graphite coating creates an increased noise level when wiping the window.

—Check the condition of the wiper blades regularly.

Damaged wiper blades should be replaced immediately. Wiper blades can be obtained from suitably qualified

professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen

Service Facility.
