This is the one thing that really ****'s me off. They look like it was the thing Porsche thought of when the car came off the line, and someone said, "ahhh, chuck these ****ters on"
The bit that sticks out looks terrible. Do the OEM ones sort this? I thought mine were OEM hahaha

You're looking for VW p/n 895-955-429-A - it's a rubber insert for a Passat, and you need two of 'em. You've got to cut the length down, but that's easy.

That said, as others have noted, the OEM or Bosch OEM replacement blades aren't wildly expensive, so you've got choices.

Regards to all.

Yeah, and to add insult to injury....now I have to clean the windshield because the freakin' wipers don't do the whole job.
