    I can’t believe I’m asking for help with something so simple. We have a 2016 5-door TFSi which needs a new rear wiper blade. Putting the reg into the website of every seller of wiper blades online comes up with the wrong fitting type - except for Halfords who come up with 5 different blades, one of which has the right fitting type (Bosch A360H) but is 15” long and would overlap the edge of the glass when vertical! Bosch A332H has the right fitting and is only 1/2” longer than the current blade so will fit, but nobody lists that as being for the A1 (A3 apparently). What is going on? This is the A332H which shows the type of fitting required:

    The VIN is fine as it isn’t GDPR data, the reg not so but still not GDPR data I think. The blade is VAG number 8X4 955 425 and cost £17.52 all in from an Audi dealer. That the part number starts 8X shows it is A1 specific and using the trade system TecDoc I can see only a few companies list it, not Bosch, such as Borg&Beck, Denso and Valeo, the latter of which is likely to be the OEM.
