Glen, I've recently fitted a polo rear wiper to my Mk4, the dealer storeman said they are the same that go on the Mk5 Golf. Not too sure if he's right but the wiper fits a treat and so easy to fit. The part numbers if you need them are.
Wiperblade. 6Q6955425A
Wiperarm. 6Q6955707A
Cap. 6Q6955435A.

He is right, Steve.. mine looks exactly the same as the Mk5 rear wiper. I ordered the polo wiper, it's the same part. It tidies up the back end a treat. I'm certain it does fit with rear spoilers.. I think it's the A4/Fabia one that has problems with spoilers.
Dead easy to fit too Glen.. lift off the hinged cap,(you may need to squeeze the cap to unclip the clips.. bit like a bottle of white spirit that you have to squeeze), undo the nut.. you may have to twist it a little as it has a ring of softish metal that bites into the splines on the shaft and may be a little seized. Once it's off, put the new wiper assembly over it.. tighten the nut so the metal bites into the splines, then replace the cap and your done.
