Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented arm is designed for installation on the rear window of the Seat Altea XL model. It is responsible for transferring motion from the drive mechanism to the wiper blade, enabling effective removal of water, mud, and debris from the glass surface. A properly selected arm guarantees the correct operating angle and appropriate blade pressure, which translates into a clear field of view in the rearview mirror.

Construction and technical fitment

The wiper arm is a structural element with precisely selected geometry, adapted to the shape of the Altea XL rear window. It includes:

• a mount that works with the wiper mechanism axle,
• a profiled support section ensuring the correct operating range,
• a tip prepared for wiper blade installation.

Thanks to its factory origin from the Seat brand, the correct dimensional tolerances are maintained, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of play or incorrect positioning relative to the glass.

Condition of the item and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered arm comes from the secondary market and has the status of used. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality – the element retains its functional properties while allowing for reduced expenses compared to a new part. Choosing an original arm from the secondary market is also a way to maintain technical consistency with other components of the wiper system.

Compatibility and part identification

The arm belongs to the Wiper arms group and is intended for a specific application in the Seat Altea XL model. Identification is based on the OEM number and interchangeable numbers, which are detailed in the product's technical specification. This allows for precise verification of compatibility with your vehicle, which is particularly important when selecting bodywork and window equipment components.

Practical application and installation

The rear wiper arm is intended for direct installation in place of the factory arm. In a typical replacement scenario, it is sufficient to remove the worn element, clean the mounting surface, and seat the new arm, tightening it according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. A correctly installed component ensures:

• stable blade operation throughout the entire stroke length,
• reduced risk of skipping or vibrations,
• better water drainage from the central part of the rear window.
