Volkswagen Back Glass Wiper Arm - Genuine VW 5GM955707A

Product Information

A Back Glass Wiper Arm is the component of a vehicle's rear windshield wiper system that connects the wiper blade to the wiper motor. The wiper arm pivots to sweep the blade across the rear window, clearing away rain, snow, or debris to improve visibility. It is typically made of metal or durable plastic and is designed to withstand weather conditions.

• Wiper Blade Not Moving: If the wiper arm is not moving when the rear wiper is activated, it could indicate a problem with the arm itself, such as a broken connection to the wiper motor or a stripped gear within the motor
• Wiper Blade Stopping Mid-Arc: A wiper arm that stops moving in the middle of its arc can suggest that it is loose, damaged, or has a stripped pivot point, preventing it from completing the intended wiping motion

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
