Description
I built this as a proof of concept part only. Since I haven't tested it
for suitability in actual road and weather conditions, and because
I have no knowlege or control over other peoples' printer quality, I
can't recommend that anyone print this for actual road use.
That said, I was having difficulty finding wiper blades to fit my 2011
VW Jetta TDI. The wiper connector on this year's model is
apparently unique and hard to fit. While I can go to the dealer
and pay a little over $40 for a set of blades, it feels wrong to reward
them for requiring a proprietary connector on something as simple
as a wiper blade without at least examining ways to use something
more standard.
This adapter lets you connect a standard US wiper blade to the
2011 VW Jetta TDI.
I printed this one in a tan color so you could see it in the pictures, I
recommend black for most cars, but some people may prefer a color
that compliments their paint scheme.
