   ive just de-wipered my rear window and ive got to say that was the easiest thinig in the world to do, the wiper arm wudn't come off so i had to cut it off (used a small angle grinder with a cutting disc, and protected all the paint work wiv thick material), it must of took all of about 5 mins, i would recommend doin it to any1, completely changes the look of the back end.

   yeh it is just tke the trim off the inside of the boot lid wiv the 3 screws then try n get the wiper blade off or just cut it off, cuttin it will save u loads of time aswell, then just unbolt the motor from inside the boot n take it out put the plug in to seal the hole put the trim back on, jobs a gooden im not jokin tho it takes 5 mins if that, i used angle grinder to get the blade off so may take bit longer to hack saw it off

    one thing to remember though: unscrew the motor of the wiper as last.
    if you unbolt it before taking of the wiper, like i did last week, it might scratch up your bumper when it falls out of your booth after the wiper's gone

    I agree it looks a lot better, but in bad weather you cant see jack shit out of the rear window?
