Gone up by 17p to £7.16 at Amazon for anyone interested. Read online that a wipe of the blade with WD40 and left to dry revives the rubber …
Ah ha! So now we know who reads those endless "1,001 uses for WD40 you've never heard of" click bait ads on t'internet :lol:

I was looking for an alternative to the standard rear wiper which quite frankly isn’t up to the job!
What will the Warranty Police say to this blatant infringement. Make sure the wiper is "N" rated ;)
:P :P :P

They’ll throw away the keys to the cell when they find out I don’t use the OEM Porsche screen wash :o :lol:

Fitted the Bosch wiper a couple of days ago… absolutely miles better than the OEM wiper (just make sure your keep the original connector as mentioned above!). :D

Hi guys. Has anyone fitted the A402H blade recently. My rear wiper has a small nick in it and I’m gonna replace it. Should I be considering this slightly longer blade?

So I got no responses to this but just wanted to let you guys know that the Bosch A402H fits beautifully and is definitely a better blade than the factory fitted one I took off.

It’s really easy and I’ve documented as below:

Take old blade off by pressing two lugs to release then pull clip from arm:

Next step is to transfer the Porsche clip. Ease off by gently twisting a large screw driver on each side. Don’t force:

Slide the old clip onto the lugs of the new blade

Refit to arm by inserting end piece and raising/clipping lugs back into arm

Blade wipes perfect with great screen coverage. Takes 5 minutes:

That definitely invalidates your entire warranty - forever!
Good explanation 👍

I covered this subject some time ago and after contacting Bosch I was informed the correct rear wiper for the Macan is AM40H which is the correct length and comes with a set of adapters of which you need adapter No 2.
