HI All

Following on from a previous post, a member (Guy) mentioned that the rear wiper was a Bosch A381H but advised fitting a A402H as it was reported the A381H was shorter.

I have been meaning to replace my rear wiper for a while and only got around to it today.

I tried to source both but found the A381H was available locally so popped across and picked it up.

This post is mainly to show those who might replace theirs in the near future that GUY is in fact correct the A381H is in fact very slightly shorter. I will however buy the A402H aswell and see what the difference is, I'm guessing 20mm as per the information on the description for them.
Anyway, here's the difference from the original fitted and the A381H

Does that A402H have the correct connector?

That's impressive geeking, I did the same but never thought to check the relative length of the two
Anyway A381H fits & works absolutely fine
I bought mine as part of full set from the imaginatively named wiperblades.co.uk for £36.64 in early Dec 21.

I upgraded to A402H shortly after new as the Porsche part was poor. It fits and works perfectly.

Thanks - this post has just cost me £6.99 from Amazon :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 ;)
