   Looks really good, should i just leave the motor plug as it is?
   
   Problem is iv got the grommet in but there is a stain around the grommet where the wiper was, and its like etched into the glass so i cant see a way of getting rid of it, i was thinking maybe a vinyl circle around the plug but that might look even gasher lol.

   Get some glass polish round it And best to take the motor out mate, just disconnect the battery, leave ten mins and its only 3 bolts iirc holding the motor in.

   Nah i didnt disconnect my battery, im going to try cleaning the window tommorow but its not a stain as such its more like an etching, so doubt its going to come out.
   
   Yeah i removed the motor completely, it was a mess trying to get the wiper arm off i had to saw it right off.. Does look so much better now though.

    Just wrap some insulation tape around the end of the connectors just to be safe.
    
    My wiper left a ring also i have managed to remove half of it with ag glass polish but the other halfs staying put.
