Yes it can be done. Was done on a featured gsi in TV 2 months ago. Looked alot better (Y)

Are they just a straight swap then or do i need to do anything else to make them fit?
Also does it matter which Astra H they come off or are they all the same?

Cheers

Lift the wee cap on the pivot point. Spray wd40 or similar, size 13 (i think) socket or spaner and give it a good sharp shunt to get it off. New arm on, tighten nut, done. Easy


Not sure but can imagine the estate is longer than sporthatch so get a van or estate one to be sure

They arent a straight swap, there is bit of work needed to get them to fit as the mk5 splines are bigger than the mk4 and you also need to trim the passenger blade by approx 25mm

This is one of a few ways of fitting them: http://www.astraownersclub.com/vb/showthread.php?t=181141&highlight=mk5+wipers

if you change your mind to doing the work, you could buy the aero blades that fit your existing wiper arms off ebay for £6 del.
