Go to your Friendly Volks Dealer and get wiper arms for a '92 Passat, the 
not only have the longer hooks but they are the type that will stand off 
the windshield when your cleaning it. These are bolt on's for all 
4K's....  The 5K arms will not work on the 4K (This might be wrong, I 
hav'nt had my Coupe for 4 years!)
