Nice video Vince, most people will think, oh thats an easy job, but there are people out there who will find this very helpful, keep up the good work mate!
I broke my windshield (windscreen), while changing the wipers. I can appreciate your advice. I have been changing wipers for years, however this time, it slipped from my fingers and snapped back tot the glass. I was so mad. I had just replaced it after a rock had done its business. The same guy from Safelite came out for repairs. No one said a word, just get the job done...
I've done this a couple times and just to answer the question that everyone is probably thinking- yes you can use a Spongebob beach towel instead of a blanket.
How hard can be I thought. Well if it wasn't for this video I would be at the VW dealers. Full of tips mainly the the service mode position and its all in the the wriggling to get the wiper out after depressing the button and angle down to get the new one home. Cheers to you Vince.screen wiper.
Top tip: If you are caught short for wipers and need to get them locally Halfords will price match Bosch Aero blades in store if you can find a UK website that have them cheaper. Just show one of the staff the webpage on your smartphone and they will price match. I got Aero wipers for £13 each for my Saab when they were £25 in store.
Really strange, second time I need to replace the wipers since I got the car and twice it was the small wiper that had the exact same issue like you have/had.Second time I had Valeo wipers on it since I couldn't get the Bosch ones. So happy to now have the Bosch ones again.
I thought the video description said "Replacing Front& Rear Windscreen". "oooh, that's gonna be interesting ^o^" So I was a tiny bit disappointed it was just windscreen wipers. But with You getting better at things, I wouldnt be too surprised if its the actual windscreens next time *lol*
Seeing your MK7, makes me miss mine. Mine was a 2013 ‘13’ 1.6 TDi, in reflex silver. I still remember my neighbours face, when I pulled up on my drive, it was like they thought I’d won the lottery 😂😂. Oh, I was one of the first people to get a ‘13’ reg on the day of release (1st March)
@@lolcat it feels exactly the same for us, left side drivers... I once got in a British car in London and it was just so weird like I thought we were always going the wrong way
I drive a RHD steering car, but in a country where we drive on the right ! I've gotten so used to my car steering on the wrong side, if I go to change gear in a normal one, I reach into the door looking for the gearstick haha
Bought my blade for the passenger side at Halfords, when I got the home found the package included four fittings for different cars,these were Bosch, no understandable instruction on what bracket to use or how to fix it. My husband worked it out but to complicated for me.
But, but, but most of us always change just the rubbers, how do we do that Vince? ;) Just Kidding, I only replaced the silicon/rubber wiper blades about four months ago "TWICE!!!, Oh and the thief who stole the first lot "CURSE YOU!!!" You hear! {mumble-grumble} :( Mind you Vince I don't drive a Golf, but rather I cruise around in a Yaris, therefore I am exposed to a lot more potential "Low life riff-raff.". Yerp.. I dropped a like BTW...
Vince, when you accomplish something like inserting the wiper blade, instead of saying, "like that," go ahead as say something along the lines, "Bob's your uncle" or "Robert's your auntie's husband," just for the rest of us who can't get enough of that, as if no one ever says it in the States.
Another comment, I had the fortune of being aquatinted with a General Motors wiper engineer. Of all the jobs, yes there's an engineer for that. She said, replace them every six moths no matter how well they work. The rubber oxidizes and degrades out in the sun and weather.
So if they are working well, what is the point of changing them? I have had the same wipers for 2 years in harsh northern USA winters and they still wipe away rain? My windshield as well is free from any scratches or I'll effects from 2 years old wipers. Perhaps the engineer is worried about job security :)
Hah. "Replacing Front & Rear Windscreen... wipers". Love your vids, but from the listing it really looked like you'd taken a big step up in project size :)
I am so stupid that my VW car garage has charged me 75 euro to change front Viper. I have Golf 2018. I used to have Honda and i paid 100euros in 2018. I thought i am getting a good deal at Volkswagen.
Vince really? Windscreen Wiper replacment? What comes next how to brush your teeth? Vince i like your videos with Fixing stuff and trying out new things. But this looks to me like making more Videos for more cash. I know i dont need to watch it. But this wasnt something what i subscribed for.
Yeah that is exactly what they are. The truth is it is these videos that make the money. Trying to fix videos take me 1 to 2 days to film and edit and 90% of them make very little money. My original channel idea was a 'how to' channel so I will still be releasing 'how to' videos. The titles are always truthful so before watching you should be able to get an idea of whether or not it is for you :-) What may seem very simple to my knowledgeable subs may not be simple to other viewers that may not be as hands on. I think videos like this are really useful to the wider community. I know many people that would worry to change out the wipers on their car when it is so simple to do once you see how easy it can be. Unfortunately I like 99% of the population need to work for a living, if the money doesn't come in then I can't do RUclips. Videos like this and other 'how to' pay for and allow me to do the other vids on the channel. I love doing the fix it vids but I also love a nice simple vid that takes 30 mins to film, 1 hour to edit and pays for itself in the first month. Not saying this wiper one will be successful...time will tell :-) Cheers for your feedback though :-)
@@Mymatevince hey i understand why you doing that. But you have to see it from the other side. Your videos/channel don't get popular with that kind of things. You probably know better than i when your videos got more views and get more subscribers. Without those harder content. I know good content takes time. Not like those click bate only channels. You couldn't get much views with this simple videos. Yes some probably dont know how to replace wiper. But i be sure they could ask other people, family, or you even could ask where you buy those wipers if they could replace it. Just ask people in the Parking lot. I be sure they would like to help them. This takes just a minute. Just talk to each other, dont be afraid. For you vince. How about finding supporter or reviewing stuff? That could fit to your channel.
@@AdmrlSpeedy personally I believe you shouldn't even have your license if you don't at least know how to do basic maintenance. I'm not saying that you have to do it every time but you need to know how.
@@Mymatevince Thank you for the video, wanted to change the wipers, I suspected it was easy like that, but wouldn't have guessed how to get them in upwards position. Suck it Phunk, leave us, uneducated car owners, alone! :D
Beats me why the 'car experts' on here are moaning about the simple task in this video. Don't watch if it offends you. The majority of drivers have no interest other than basic maintenance and find videos like this useful when carrying out the occasional maintenance job not worth paying for. Keep up the good work Vince!
Nice video Vince, most people will think, oh thats an easy job, but there are people out there who will find this very helpful, keep up the good work mate!
I had to come here for a reason lol
Excellent video as usual Vince. Didn't know about the service mode, I changed mine with the wipers in the normal position. Every day is a school day.
Thanks Martin :-)
Have a VW Polo from 2017, and think they use the same blades. Putting the blades in service mode was particularly useful to know. Thanks!
I broke my windscreen while changing them a couple years ago. It was my first car and I was a new driver. Thanks for the video.

Not the SpongeBob ..

Please help, I only have a towel with an American $100 note on it will this work as well ?
Thanks so much for this - super explanation and I now know how to avoid breaking my windscreen at the same time!

Had no idea that you could put the blades up in a ‘service position’, helpful video!
Thanks Vince. Informative and simple✅. Love the service mode and blanket for that homely touch. Good day to you sir🙏🏽
I've got a MK7.5 and for me the 650mm was too long.. kept catching on the smaller wiper blade.. so had to get the 600mm and it's spot on🙏🏽
Just saved me a trip to the VW shop. You sir are a gent Cheers!
Thank you! Your video was easy to follow!

Just show one of the staff the webpage on your smartphone and they will price match. I got Aero wipers for £13 each for my Saab when they were £25 in store.
Why don't you just buy it from the website?
Kent B. Great tip, sometimes you may want it there and then so it is good to know they price match :-)
Had no idea those squares were little buttons. Now I can go and buy my new ones and do it myself, thanks!
Terrific video - saved me best part of £20.00- many thanks 😄👍
This guy lol, fixing everything
Absolutely love this channel, specially PS4 and Xbox fixes

Very helpful. Impossible job without the tip about using the key in the ignition!

Haha, you are not the first to say that. Let me shorten the title to save any more confusion:-)

Little tip especially when removing front wipers, bend the blade to wards the sky when pulling out. I struggled to wiggle it out otherwise.
Lovely video - thanks
I wish I watched this video before paying £16 just for the rear one. Thanks for posting 👍
Brilliant this was so helpful 👏
Thanks man, how do you like the Bosch over OEM?
Thanks for the help 👍🏼
Service mode is great when hand washing / polishing too.
You're on the wrong side!
Greetings from the States ;)
I don't get how you Americans sit on the left. Seems so weird to me
Laughs in the *right* side

Yerp.. I dropped a like BTW...
Wow man my dad has a VW Passat 2006 and it’s pretty good
nearly 3 years later the same job is £42 from Halfords, £28 from ebay / amazon for fakes of course. I gotta do it myself now

Hey Vince.
Where did you buy them from
👍👍👍
Make a video modding an xbox 360 (jtag/rgh)
That would be brilliant
Not sure if it's vince's cup of tea but it would be super interesting.
My kids swore up and down that the Xbox after the 360, was the 720. I had no opinion. But it was the topic of the day.

Can we have a video on tuning a musical Triangle
Ooh Direct fit from Bosch? ..No playing with Lego parts, before install. Thats new on Bosch.
Strange...Your steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side of the car?
EZ 👍

Just tell me the size I don’t care about how to

Now I've seen everything. If anyone can't change a wiper blade they shouldn't own or drive a car.
