Volkswagen T-Roc Wiper Blade Size & Fitting Guide (2018-2024)
Wiper Blade Sizes
Front blade lengths and arm fitting for the Volkswagen T-Roc, taken from the Bosch and Valeo entries in the TecDoc-derived parts catalogue. Catalogues publish a front set as two lengths and do not state which blade belongs on the driver’s arm of a right-hand-drive car, so this table labels the blades by length rather than by side. Measure the blade you are replacing, or check both arms, before you order.
| Position | Blade length | Arm fitting |
|---|---|---|
| Front — longer blade | 650 mm (26 in) | Top Lock / push-button |
| Front — shorter blade | 475 mm (19 in) | Top Lock / push-button |
| Rear | Bosch 330 mm / 13 in; Valeo 335 mm / 13.2 in — 5 mm brand disagreement | Vehicle-specific rear fit |
Recommended Wiper Blades for Volkswagen T-Roc

Confidence in this data: Medium-High front, Medium rear
Checked against: Autodoc T-Roc A11
Model and body-style splits: The catalogue lists both a 650/475 Bosch Original (A102S) and a 650/500 one (A621S) against the same chassis without dating either, most likely a facelift or market difference. The convertible is a separate chassis (AC7) that has not been checked.
- Caution: The T-Roc’s 650 mm and 475 mm lengths are the same as Bosch A310S, but A310S is not the set Bosch lists for this car — the listed reference is A102S. Matching on length alone gets you the wrong adapter.
What Fitting Type?
Catalogue fitting for the Volkswagen T-Roc: Front Top Lock; rear moulded
Adapter note. The Bosch set listed for this car is an Aerotwin Retrofit (AR-prefix), which uses the universal 9×3 / 9×4 hook adapter and fits any standard hook arm.
Right-hand drive. At least one supplier publishes a distinct right-hand-drive part number for this vehicle. On a UK car the blades sweep the opposite way to a left-hand-drive car, and the profile and stops differ, so buy the part the catalogue flags for right-hand drive where one exists — the references below say which.
Fit blades in pairs. Both front blades age at the same rate, so replacing only the streaking one usually means doing the other within weeks.
Recommended Wiper Blades
Bosch A102S
A102S (3397014116), 650/475, Top Lock — an Aerotwin Original, flagged for left-hand drive. The same catalogue page also lists A621S (3397014621) at 650/500 Top Lock, a conflict within Bosch’s own data that is covered in the notes below. Rear: A331H (3397008713) 330 mm, A335H 330 mm, AM33H 330 mm retrofit.
Valeo VM265
577818 650/475 Top Lock; 577819 650/475 right-hand drive. Rear HR33 (578563) / VM265 (574612), both 335.
Rear blade
Bosch 330 mm / 13 in; Valeo 335 mm / 13.2 in — 5 mm brand disagreement Rear blades are usually a moulded, vehicle-specific fit rather than a universal hook — match the part number, not just the length.
How to Replace Wiper Blades
Changing the front blades on the Volkswagen T-Roc takes a few minutes and needs no tools.
- Lift the arm away from the glass until it locks upright, and lay a folded cloth on the screen in case it drops.
- Release the old blade. Press the release tab on the top of the connector and pull the blade square off the arm — it unclips rather than sliding.
- Compare old and new side by side before fitting — same length, same connector. If the adapter does not match, stop; forcing it damages the arm.
- Fit the new blade until the catch clicks home, then tug it gently to confirm it is locked.
- Lower the arm back to the glass by hand. Repeat on the other side, then test with plenty of washer fluid on a wet screen.
Never let a bare arm snap back onto the glass — a windscreen chipped that way is not covered by the blade warranty.
When to Replace Your Wipers
Wiper rubber hardens with UV and heat rather than with mileage, so a set on a car that is parked outside will usually be finished in about 12 months whatever the distance covered. Replace them when you see any of the following:
- Streaks or a haze left behind on the return sweep
- Juddering or chattering across the glass
- Missed strips of screen, especially at the top of the sweep
- Splits, curling or a shiny, glazed edge on the rubber
- Squealing that does not clear with a wash and a wipe of the rubber
Clean the rubber with a damp cloth every few weeks and clear leaves and grit from the base of the screen; both add months to a set. A blade that still streaks after cleaning is worn, not dirty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Volkswagen T-Roc need?
The catalogue front set for the Volkswagen T-Roc is 650 mm (26 in) and 475 mm (19 in). The catalogue does not say which of the two goes on the driver’s arm of a right-hand-drive car, so measure the blade you are replacing rather than assuming the longer one is the driver’s.
What fitting type do Volkswagen T-Roc wipers use?
The Volkswagen T-Roc is catalogued as: Front Top Lock; rear moulded
What rear wiper blade does a Volkswagen T-Roc take?
Rear blade for the Volkswagen T-Roc: Bosch 330 mm / 13 in; Valeo 335 mm / 13.2 in — 5 mm brand disagreement Rear blades are normally a moulded vehicle-specific fit, so match the part number rather than the length alone.
How often should I replace Volkswagen T-Roc wiper blades?
About once a year for most UK cars. Wiper rubber degrades with UV, heat and grit rather than with mileage, so a car parked outside will need blades sooner than the distance covered suggests. Replace them as soon as they streak, judder or miss part of the sweep after cleaning.
Does the Volkswagen T-Roc need a right-hand-drive specific set?
Yes — at least one supplier publishes a distinct right-hand-drive part for this vehicle, listed in the references on this page. A UK car sweeps the opposite way to a left-hand-drive car and the blade profile and park position differ, so use the right-hand-drive part where the catalogue offers one.

How we check fitment for this guide
We cross-reference fitment figures against manufacturer specifications and OE-supplier catalogue data where available, and matched to the standard codes that actually govern fit — battery type/group sizes, wiper lengths and fitting types, bulb fitment codes, tyre size markings, and oil specifications. We work by make, model, year, engine, and build date, because a single model can take different parts across its life. Where the right part depends on your exact vehicle, we tell you to confirm by registration or VIN. More on our method →
