I broke my driver's side windshield wiper arm on my MkV GTI. VW has it on backorder for who knows how long. As for now, I can't legally drive in the rain. I've called VWoA about it, and they are doing what they can. Does anybody know of an aftermarket wiper arm, or something that will get me by until my part arrives?
Thanks.

Probably, but I believe it's shorter. I just hope it's not on infinite backorder like my iPod adapter. The Jetta and GTI use the same part, according to my dealer. There's got to be one laying around somewhere.

I had that thought already, but for just a brief moment. Since the number of dealers around here is limited, it would probably be an easy case for Barney Fife. Surely VW can get me a part, or perhaps there's a wrecked Jetta around. I've scoured the internet tonight, and found them for every other GTI/Jetta except the MkV.

What did you break on the arm and how did you break it?

Why didn't your dealership do the "stealing" for you? I would ask them to swap out the arm on yours for one from their lot.
