Genuine Volkswagen Tiguan [5N2] Offside Front Wiper Arm – 5N2 955 410

Ensure your Tiguan’s windscreen clearing system is balanced and operating at peak performance with the Genuine Volkswagen Offside (Driver Side) Front Wiper Arm (Part Number: 5N2 955 410). Designed specifically for the Tiguan [5N2] (2012–2016 facelift) model, this component is essential for maintaining optimal visibility and safety during wet weather conditions.

Product Overview

As the primary wiper arm responsible for the driver’s field of vision, the Offside Front (O/S/F) arm is subject to the highest usage. If your current arm has developed play, is causing the wiper blade to chatter, or is not applying the correct pressure across the arc of your windscreen, this genuine replacement will restore the factory-standard wiping quality.

• Classification: Genuine Volkswagen OEM Replacement Part.

• Compatibility: Specifically tailored for the Tiguan [5N2] (Facelift, 2012–2016).

• Position: Offside Front (O/S/F) / Driver Side (UK Right-Hand side).

• Function: Ensures the driver’s side wiper blade maintains constant, even pressure for a streak-free sweep.

• Significance: Critical for road safety and visibility; a worn driver’s arm is a common cause of poor wiping performance, even when new blades are installed.

Compatibility & Fitment

Safety and precision are paramount. This part is a direct, factory-specified replacement designed for seamless integration.

• Compatible Models: Volkswagen Tiguan [5N2] (2012–2016).

• Fitment: Engineered for a perfect, factory-standard fit. It utilizes the original mounting hardware and splined connection to ensure a secure, rattle-free installation on the wiper motor shaft.

• Importance: Using genuine Volkswagen parts guarantees that the geometry, tension, and sweep arc are exactly as intended by VW engineers, preventing potential damage to your windscreen that can occur with poorly fitted aftermarket arms.

Performance Benefits

• Factory-Spec Tension: Provides the correct amount of downward force to ensure the blade clears the screen effectively without skipping or streaking.

• Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured from premium materials that are treated to resist rust and oxidation, ensuring long-term durability in the UK’s varied climate.

• Precision Spline Fit: Ensures the arm stays locked in position, providing reliable performance at all vehicle speeds.

• Optimal Geometry: Designed specifically for the [5N2] windscreen curvature, maximizing the clearing area for the driver.

Build Quality

Volkswagen genuine components undergo rigorous quality control. The robust metal construction and weather-resistant finish are built to endure years of exposure to rain, snow, and UV light, maintaining a clean and professional appearance on your vehicle.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation is a standard automotive procedure:

1. Removal: Carefully remove the plastic cover, unscrew the retaining nut, and use a wiper arm puller tool to release the old arm from the motor splines.

2. Replacement: Align the new arm at the factory-marked “park” position on the windscreen.

3. Secure: Replace the retaining nut, torque to manufacturer specifications, and snap the cover back into place.

Recommendation: To achieve a perfect finish, we highly recommend replacing your wiper blade at the same time.

FAQ

Q: Does this include the wiper blade? A: No, this is for the wiper arm only. We recommend pairing it with a new, genuine VW wiper blade.
