I went to SuperCheap Auto and they had the correct ones if I remember correctly, they're floating around somewhere in the garage, never fitted
them...

Ah, no dramas, they had Super Beetle ones so I figured they'd have earlier models too. My apologies!

Naturally, no one is going to carry in stock parts for a 40++ year old VW..
ALWAYS - use the advertisers on here and VWA Magazine...
supercheap and repco are NOT interested in selling parts to VW owners once a year....
You MUST Specialize...
I know I will have to get wiper blades for MY beetle from a VW dedicated parts shop.. and maybe in another state??
they don't fit any modern cars
want parts - ring or email Your VW parts shop...
most are listed in VWA Magazine... its a MUST...

Thanks Lee, i went to various auto stores and they said they stocked the refills but obviously they have no idea what they are talking about. I have
purchased a few things from volksfactory and ebay... might try online.
