HERE YOU GO, I FOUND SCOTT'S POST FOR YOU

it's easy depending on one point hehe. here's a little guide:

1 - Unscrew the three torx screws on the panel on the inside of the boot. One to the right, one to the left and one in the handle.

2 - Pull the boot panel off. There are 4 clips in total, try not to break them though.

3 - Pull the cover off of the centre of the wiper (where it connects to the boot)

4 - Undo the large screw that was revealed when you took the cover off.

5 - Pull the wiper arm off of the screw thread by wiggling and pulling. If it does not come off (normally on MK2's) then you will need to saw the wiper arm. When sawing this off, make sure that you cut it next to the thread so that it will just slide off but try not to cut the thread itself because you will need to use it again if you ever come to putting the wiper back on.

Whatever you do, DO NOT TRY AND PULL THE WIPER ARM TOO HARD. This will result in a shattered rear window and a cost of around 120 pounds to put right.

6 - With the wiper off, disconenct the wire going to the wiper motor on the inside of th eboot

7 - undo the two screws holding the wiper motor onto the boot and pull it off.

8 - Tape the end of the wire off that was connected to the motor and you might want to tape it to the boot so you know where to find it if you ever come to putting the motor back on again.

9 - Remove the rubber grommit from the hole in the glass

10 - Use a 20mm or 21mm blanking grommit (your choice on the size, some 20mm fit better, some 21mm fit better) and put it in the hole.

11 (optional) - depending on the fit and quality of the grommit, you may want to use some sort of sealant, maybe silicon to seal the edges so that no moisture or rain car get through the hole and rust the inside of your boot.

12 - Put the boot panel back on the car and screw it back into place.

13 - Stand back, admire your new euro backside and get your photos onto Sax-P

hope that helps,

scott

part numbers from Pug are

Plug - 874542
Washer - 874543
Screw - 874544

as Skorpion says, they cost about £2.50 for the set. If they have them in stock at the factory you can pick up from the dealer next day

or if you want a free one.... look under the carpet and sound proofing in the back of your car and you will notice a small round black grommit! has no purpose where it is and fits perfectly in the hole thats left in your window

Haha! random or what!?

Surely the need for a rear wind screen wiper is still there? or does the rear wings help to keep the rain off?

14th November 2006, 19:56

nah dont need a rear wiper mate lol, i just carry a hydro blade which i use for drying my car after washing or you could keep a wiper blade in your car, then if it snows you can get it off before you drive, keeping the heated rear screen on helps too

people do it because there after the smooth look

One advantage of removing the rear wiper is you can use the motor assembly for a single wiper front conversion.

Some slight fabrication and voila - will try and post instructions in the future.
