    Hoping onto this thread. I read the post about how to do it, but I've also heard the horror stories about smashing the glass?
    
    Is it just a case of being really careful?

    Most people hack saw it off, due to it being seized. give it a few gentle tugs if it doesn't come off, either hack saw it or use a special tool, not sure what it's called, but Willsy used it on mine, so if ever i need the wiper i can just plug it all back in. Be gentle what-ever method used.

    you can use a ball joint separator to get it off, if its seized. but it should just pop straight off.

    there is a cover mate, unclips when you pull it from the base, well it does on a MK1 VTR. Was a bitch to get undone because mine had seized up but with a few harsh tugs it came off lol well worth doing though geez.

    never managed to smash mine. it was even easier to get off than my wheel nuts
    
    so, we can determine that saxo rear windows break randomly for no reason

    Just keep pulling. I thought mine was solid, well it was, but keep at it and itll come off. Just push back against the rear windscreen so you dont smash it buy pulling too hard.

    steve how did you remove the washer jet itself i had a look at it the other day do u just need to rag it apart as its just and elbow goining into the jet? and did you bung the hose up with anything or just leave it?
    
    also if any1's interested ive got 2 spare grommets so pm me if you want 1 can get more aswell.
    
    cheers Dan

    You have to pull the washer pipe off the plastic elbow,then push the actual jet part back into the hole.That way you don`t damage the paint trying to pry the jet off.The actual pipe I have not sorted yet because i`m swapping over tailgates but what I will probs do is either get a self tapper or small bolt silicone sealant on the thread & scew it into the pipe.
