golf mk5s have too different fitting types.
mine are exact fit with square "button" on top like this:-

earlier mk5s have a side pin like this:-

you need to check which you have.

They are Bosch 980s on an ED30 , i think you will need these below - Seems a good price

Im usually a massive Bosch fan but was wondering if anyone has tried the Michelin "Stealth" range of wipers?

Would be interested to hear how these compare against the Bosch offerings.
