Finally got round to De-Wipering my car this morning, being a bit of a mechanical novice I printed off Willsy’s guide and followed the steps. However I found it a bit unclear, probably due to the fact I did it wrong but I thought I would post an idiot guide up that would have helped me and may help you.
What’s needed to De-Wiper?
Torx 20 screwdriver
Spanner set
Indestructible hands (or a towel)
Wiper Gromit, can be bought on Saxperience or Halfords for around £2
Step 1
Open boot and remove the screws in either side boot closing hole, very simple.
Step 2
Pull the boot backing piece off, it’s held on by three clips so may need a bit of a rattle to come loose, this will reveal the wiper motor.
Step 3
Close the boot and open up the little catch on the wiper itself to reveal a nut and then undo it.
Step 4
Once the nut has been undone you will be left with a washer with rivets on, this can be quite hard to remove. I put some WD40 on it and twisted it using an adjustable spanner until it comes off. Don’t pull at it as you run the risk smashing your screen.
Step 5
Once the washer has been removed close the boot and remove the final three small bolts that are holding the wiper motor onto the car, remove the wiper motor and you will be left with a nice hole in the glass.
Step 6
Close the boot and place the grommet in the hole, would advice putting some silicone or glue on to stop water from seaping through.
Finished.
Not the best guide but may help.
