Just checked the US forum and you reuse the old adapter as the A402H doesnt come with any.

Does that A402H have the correct connector?
I’ll let you know as I gave ordered one and should be with me in a few days.
A402H arrived and fitted using original adapter and works perfectly for the princely sum of £8.98
This forum is a great source of information

I found that the rear wiper 'dragged' on the screen and I read somewhere that it can be turned around to stop that happening. I did it, and it worked!

One thing I have noticed with the rear wiper is that its behaviour on my car (juddering or not) is also dependent on outside temperature - probably not surprising as it is just a piece of rubber. Above 7 C no judder; below 7 C judder.

Mine has been juddering for a looooooong time not matter what the temperature!
I’ve not replaced it in the 5+ years of ownership so it was embarrassingly long overdue.

That post is somewhere on this forum. I did the same and it does work.

Checked the A402H length with the original whilst at Eurocarparts and the blade length is exactly the same as the OEM when pushed flat. Overall it’s slightly longer with the plastic end caps and blade itself has the Bosch Aerotwin design for the rubber.
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 …
