Hey everyone,
I took my car out yesterday, and it looks like someone either stole one of my wipers, or it flew off? Either way, I need to get a new wiper (don't know if it's left or right?). I checked out Sierra Madre, and couldn't see anything that looks like what what I've got. For reference, I have a 2015 VS.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You’re in LA.
Stop by Vintage Motorcars in Hawaiian Gardens and pick up another one.
Thanks - I checked out their site, and didn't see the same ones available through them (silver wipers). I e-mailed them the pics to see if they have them though.
Try Mid America Motorworks in Illinois. Google them. They specialize in VW and Corvette parts, go figure.
You may be able to just purchase the missing pieces... that particular model should have a securing screw for the arm that may have come loose allowing the arm to pop out. ( see pics in the various links I attach below.
If Gregg at Vintage Motor Cars can’t help, try Cip1. They sell the full assembly, as well as the base ( ref link below. I just ran a quick search). I’m sure with a quick call they may be able to help find the arm (if it’s available and appropriate wiper. Their help desk is super helpful... and they typically carry both German quality to Chinese bargain of the same part.... you choose.

If you are near LA, and were thinking of a drive-shopping experience you also have;
- ISP West- they sell the left full assembly only, 25$... and you could just use the parts you need... or ask them if they will sell you just your missing parts.

- WagenWerks - Victorville... longer drive :-). ... they sell new and used... and sell from full assemblies to individual bolts and washers..

all these places ship as well. give any of these places a call... with your picture they will be able to help... and likely sell you the individual missing parts... that has been my experience with ISP West/Wagenworks. Clip 1 will help find the part#s, and tell you if they have them ( new, they don’t sell used).
hope this helps... cheers,
Ran a search on Cip1... here is the part number of the missing parts... just the arm and blades... may help when you call around.

also near Greg you have SoCal imports... who sold many parts to Kirk for his cars... and I’m assuming he may work with Greg. Their parts are typically Chinese made... but for the price you can grab the pieces you need and keep the rest for a rainy day. Call them, they also have a great help desk and they know our cars,
