Anyone got any idea about wiper blades on early Ghia's (11 inch ones)? Do you have to buy the complete carrier or can you get a refill for the blade only. They seem super rare for the whole carrier ones. Any help would be great.

Tried to post a photo for reference but the site is not playing ball. :cry:

You could buy a 22" wiper refill and cut it in half. Learned this 'hack' back in my poorer days. :-s

Why not just buy new ones from Wolfsburg West? Less that $14 per blade, can't beat that.

Those are old aftermarket wiper blades. You can replace the rubber blades or buy complete new ones from WW. You might be able to find a box of replacement NOS rubber blades on E-bay. The WW blades are the original style and will work fine, they will just look a little different.

Those are for a Beetle with a flat windshield.

Do what runamoc said...you can buy just the rubber blades and cut them to size. Just make sure they have the same cross-section as your current ones.
