Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics wiper spoiler

i actually did this a few months ago, but was too busy and lazy to post about it...

I always liked the wiper spoiler that was on my GTi.
On the A2 cars it is physically connected to the wiper arm. Then recently i noticed that a much sleeker one came on the Audi A4. It appeared to be simply clipped to the wiper blade assembly. sweet!

I went to my friendly VW parts guy and inquired about it. It comes only attached to the whole blade assembly. The audi part was $45 delivered to the dealer. :rolleyes:
I didn't want to pay that, so i walked. Then on the way out i noticed the 1.8t VWs had them too. hmmm...
I asked how much the VW part was. $17.75, $19.17 delivered. Same part number (3A1-955-425), same part, half price! gotta love VAG. :rolleyes:

Well, the spoiler itself is actually screwed onto the special blade assembly, torx T-10, in two places.

The VW blade is 550mm in length. The SVT driver's blade is supposed to be 22". Well, i could have just used the VW blade (yes it fits the arm), but i didn't want to give up my precious 8.8mm of coverage, not to mention the VW blade wasn't nearly as nice as my Bosch Micro Edge Excel. So i made it fit on my blade assembly.

It wouldn't fit directly, i had to mod one of the clip areas and i glued it on using clear silicone.
It looks and works GREAT! no more blade fly-away at high speed!

Congrats, my Contour came with those from the factory!

Mine didn't.

?!?!
i think we got screwed hector?

or is someone dippin into the bong water...

Well you know the 2000 Contours got screwed out of a lot of things. :rolleyes:

LMAO@ matt . Dont spill it smells like sh** on the carpet.

okay, so i don't see them in your pictures...

3/4 view of your 95

but i do see a nice parking ticket!
:p

so maybe they came on the wipers and were thus trashed when you put on those winter wipers?

or yes, maybe the bongwater did it.

so, i have a 98, which has everything, well compared to the 2000 anyway! :p

so does anyone know if these ever came on the car?
anyway, i love my retrofit. even if it is just a wiper spoiler!

Those are a different set of wipers. Ford doesn't sell the ones with the "spoilers" anymore, I have had some on order for about 2 years. I finally got a call from a Ford rep. and she said they don't make them anymore.

It's hard to hit the bong when you don't do drugs!

no it's not. just run for it after you do. those freaks get pissed off when you break their ****!

damn hippies :rolleyes:



so did yours look like the one i used?

It looks the same, but hopefully yours won't rust out like mine did. Mine had rust all over them and looked like sh*t.

But good job on the creativity, I have always liked the look of the spoiler.
