Type 25 Wiper Arm Refresh Kit

This black plastic cap is designed to fit over the wiper spindle retaining nut, providing a clean factory finish while protecting the fixing from dirt, moisture, and corrosion. It is a simple but essential finishing component found on many classic Volkswagen models, helping to maintain both appearance and long-term reliability.

The cap pushes firmly into place over the exposed wiper spindle nut on the front panel or rear tailgate (where fitted). By covering the nut, it prevents water ingress and reduces the risk of corrosion forming around the spindle threads, which can otherwise make future removal difficult. It also improves the overall look of the vehicle by hiding exposed fixings for a neat, original-style finish.

Suitable for both front and rear wiper spindles depending on model, this cap is ideal for restoration projects or replacing missing or damaged originals. Over time, these caps often become brittle, discoloured, or are lost during maintenance, making replacements a worthwhile upgrade.

No additional parts are required for fitting—simply push into place over the spindle nut. For a complete refresh, consider replacing worn wiper arm seals or spindle grommets at the same time.

Sold individually. One required per wiper spindle.

This black wiper arm nut cap is a simple but important finishing piece that fits over the securing nut on wiper arms using this later style fitting. It protects the retaining nut from dirt, moisture and corrosion while also giving the wiper arm a neat, factory-correct appearance. If your original cap is missing, cracked or loose, replacing it helps tidy the scuttle area and protects the fixing underneath.

The cap simply presses over the exposed wiper arm nut, covering the fastening point once the arm is fitted and tightened. Although small, it helps prevent water and grime building up around the fixing, which can make future removal harder and spoil the look of the vehicle. This makes it ideal for everyday use, restoration work and replacing lost originals.

Finished in black, this cap was originally used on Beetle models from August 1972 onwards, including 1303, plus Baywindow Bus, Type 25/T3, Type 3 from 1970 onwards, Karmann Ghia from August 1972 onwards and Golf Mk1 models. It also fits various other VW models that use the same style wiper arm fixing. Please check your existing cap and wiper arm style before ordering.
