   how long does this roughly take to do ? think its explained in the Max Power/Haynes manual but its at home & i'm stuck at work.
   
   thinking of doing it for Trax but rapidly running out of time & money.

   depends if the wiper arm is seized to the metal part of the motor mate
   
   just wd40 it for a few hours, and then it shud b simple
   
   took me 20mins
   
   plug,washer and screw
   
   874542
   874543
   874544
   
   
   These are the 3 part numbers that you need to take down to your local Peugeot dealer, as older, lower spec 106's, had no rear wiper. Therefore these bits were used to fill the hole
   
   costs about £3 - and well worth it

   they certainly will
   
   they'll just type it in the computer and itl pop right up. although you may need to wait a few days for them to get the bits in to stock - as they arent exactly highly requested parts

   think i may need to do this. halfrauds never have stock of the rear wiper, the wiper arm is a little rusty & i want to tidy up the rear end a little.
   
   cheers for the info Joe - think this'll be
   
   Graeme - not thread hijack mate. it was on the same subject

   yeh its fine alicia - legality and MOT wise anyway
   
   in winter it gets to b a pain in the arse if u do a lot of reverse parking etc
   
   so i suggest u get sum of this too:
   
   
   the rain just falls off
   
   [edit] - sorry that ones german, but its commonly available in most shops like halfords etc

    it aint that easy when its seized tho
    
    as i found out, ended up hacksawing the wiper arm off the motor
    
    it was either that or risk puttin my window out
    
    and the rubber plug cost me 50p

    i bet your rubber plug can b pushed through quite easily tho??
    
    the parts from peugeot r sturdy plastic and tightened from the inside and has no chance of getting pushed through or letting water in

    go to peugeot and get it done properly. are you really going to take the chance of water leaking into your boot for the sake of £3?

    what if someone else pushes on it?
    
    and lets just talk hypothetically here for a moment...
    
    what will you do if some little shit pushes it through,then proceeds to drop his fag-end in?and your car goes up in smoke...?
    
    for another £2.50 - i wouldnt take the risk

    they were made for early 106's that didnt have a rear wiper, but all saxo's had rear wipers i think so you probably wont get them from citroen.
