Rear Wiper Replacement

[Briboynyc]

I am trying to get a rear wiper replacement blade (it actually fell off as it was wiping...so that's not cool). Wasnt a fan of the original OEM blades and wanted to get Bosch blades but on their website they list two different versions that is compatible with the macan. First model is A381H and the rear of the box says compatible with Macan 95B 03.14 -> which I am assuming is from March 2014 to current. BUT I believe the Macan 95B is the gas version. Bosch also lists part number A383H as being compatible but I dont even see macan listed on the read of the box just VW and Skoda.

Anyone have any idea of a replacement blade that is not OEM that will fit? Which Bosch model? RainX? other brands?

I guess you didnt option the Macan EV with a rear wiper

I was told that it was not an option, that it was eliminated for aerodynamic reasons. In any event, I have never found it to be needed.

True. However, a rear wiper is still available as an option unless you specify the acoustic and thermal insulated glass. If you bought your car off the lot you may not have been aware of that and gone solely by what the sales guy told you, but if you look in the online configurator, you will see it.

there's really no reason to get a XAB specific wiper...just look up the size of it. Almost all of the wipers comes with all the needed adapters /etc to fit all cars...
get the brand/style you like

I got Bosch which they said would fit on their website but it didn’t

What didn't fit? There was no adapter for the attachment?

I had the exact same issue, the rear wiper felt off while driving, probably after using a car wash.

The Macan 4 rear wiper is a new model, with a new connector, and several brands that claim to fit do not. The one that worked for me was the trico rainguard 55-150, but it was hard to make it click, and it looked flimsy.

It felt again on its own 2 months later. I ended up going to Porsche, and they replaced it with an OEM one.

Interestingly, they had a hard time fitting the OEM one, as it had to make *two* clicks. So it made me think that 1) you need to put quite a bit of pressure to install it properly, and 2) it probably had not been installed properly at the factory in the first place.
