De-wiper or not?

[Rudpud]

Guys you've all seen me car i expect, it's debadged and so was thinking, should i de wiper it? Coz im in two minds about it

[Morgzc]

Yes.
..

[AdamDougal]

Yes. done mine not long ago looks alot better tbh.

[saxo-dude-16v]

do it.

[bbower]

get it done mate, i did mine recently and looks loads better :D

[ReCoNoR]

Do it!

[saxo_furio17]

do it looks mint

[laberridge]

once you do it, you'll realise you never needed a back wiper on the first plce.

[saxo-dude-16v]

its true, even when its raining badly the rear window is clear to be fair.

[djt992]

Yep deffo dewiper, looks much smoother :D

[ManGo-SaXo]

For sure... so glad mines de-wipered.

[MunkyBoy]

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?

[ManGo-SaXo]

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.

[chrsjcb]

Do it!

[Darren-8-]

de-wiper, then wax back window, water will run off it

[laberridge]

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

[Saxoo_VT_Whatt]

do it :y: hack sawed mine off and never looked backk

[Jo3fish]

Do it, just remove it properly incase you change your mind.

Which you wont.. just best to be safe.

[Rudpud]

So i can put it back on when i come to sell it :), im thinking im gonna do this when i get the chance

[kierancee]

defo do it.

[saxo-maxo]

Get the saw out! :y:

[piranhamatt]

i dewipered my 2nd boot today,
Proper easy job, so easy to do, i even fixed up the wiper back to the motor, and all parts just so i know how it fits together if i wanted it back on

[Rudpud]

Is the rubber gromet also in the boot of a mk1? lol coz all ive even seen is mk2s

[Rudpud]

How does the rear wiper come off on a mk1 boot. There's no lil cover to lift off?

[Bradtate]

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.

[Azzybonjela]

[Rudpud]

[XxiiGnarkillxX]

[CHIP]

[Tringaling]

[Tringaling]

Plus there is a ring of dirt that wont come off from where it was sat against the glass, did anyone manage to get theirs off and how please?

[Rudpud]

Thats what mirrors are for, anyone enlighten me as to what bung to use?

Pull the boot carpet up and underneath is a rubber bung near the centre of the back rest of the seats

[XxiiGnarkillxX]

Take the boot carpet up and there should b 1 bunged in the bodywork. Bout 2 inces across or so..

[Tringaling]

Did yours leave a dirty ring that wont come off?

[XxiiGnarkillxX]

[XxiiGnarkillxX]

[Rudpud]

Use a bung from halfords or the one from under the boot carpet.

[Dave_P]

You can buy a proper bolt in part to fit the hole, some poverty spec 106's had them fitted.

I've got one on my vts. ;)

[lilbenchy9192]

is the bung in the boot not there for some other wierd and wonderfull reason though??

am i the only one that uses a rear wiper lol

[becky_89]

de-wiper ftw :y:

[lilbenchy9192]

[RustySkull]

Depends if you want it or not lol. I de-wipered mine but then decided I wanted it for the winter lol. But I'll take it off again in the summer :D

[Pixie]

De-wipering looks a lot better imo
Wish i had done it to my saxo :y:

[MichieVtr]

[robster247]

[RustySkull]

i tryed to de wiper it didnt go well to say the least i need a new back window :(

I know why the window smashes, but I don't see how people manage to do it lol.

Crazy...

[Rudpud]

I cant... All you have to do is be careful with it and I pushed back on the window too to stop it from cracking or smashing.

[robster247]

yeah proper pixxed me off cnt afford a new one so was thinking a sheet of perspecs plastic shit or cove it over with an alloy sheet and spray it black wat ya rekon lol ??

[Rudpud]

Van it? like the side's too.

[robster247]

yeah or just completely black the sides out too ????

[Rudpud]

yeah or just completely black the sides out too ????

Cant see it being cheap. Would have to weld, fill, smooth, spray near enough the whole back end of the car, and ofcourse a full spray to make it look nice

[robster247]

i was thinking just to get a sheet of aluminium plate cut it all to shape smooth all the edges and glue it in just like a window would have ben then either spray it balck or polish it to a chrome finish cause i have loads of alloy sheet and spray gun plus heated garge ????

[stevo67]

de-wiper, then wax back window, water will run off it

Or use Rain-x but yes de-wiper looks much better.:y:


Steve.:drink:

[Gazer]

Or use Rain-x but yes de-wiper looks much better.:y:

flooding of the boot. pop it out and the water drains.

[jwilson2814]

wax FTW use motorsport specialist wax though :) works alot better - personal experience, ive waxed all windows except front , and was thinking about it the other day, but better not until I get my mates sunstrip :)

[Furio-Gazza]

De Wiper FTW, just dont smash your rear window :cool:
as i found out on my 1st saxo, auto glass wanted £170 for another rear window had to buy a hole new boot ahah

[BMJOE]

+1 to dewiper, I use rain-x and it just runs off, the dewiper looks much better imo,

[chinkostu]

never managed to smash mine. it was even easier to get off than my wheel nuts :homme:

so, we can determine that saxo rear windows break randomly for no reason ;)

[robster247]

yeah they smash lol suks literaly ;)

[jimmykool111]

Get it done

[lilbenchy9192]

any ideas for getting them off??? i dont wanna cut it cus i might wanna put it back on, but it seems to be solid, ive soaked it in that magic WD but it just wont budge. wats the best thing to use to remove it other then a puller

[Rudpud]

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.

[lilbenchy9192]

i tried but the window was flexing a lot :S

[Rudpud]

i tried but the window was flexing a lot :S

Sounds dangerous lol. Saw it off?

[lilbenchy9192]

i want to keep it cus i dunno how ill cope

[h4ml3ttvts]

definatly do it, looks so much better

[Big-Ginge-69]

definately mate i reckon it looks awesome

[badasssaxo]

Done mine the other day and did it to my old vtr too i dont miss the wiper at all

Had to cut it off and i reckon its cheaper to buy new motor than window

[stevo67]

Just done my spare tailgate that i`m repairing took the washer jet out too & put a grommet in the hole,looks much better.

Steve.

[lilbenchy9192]

this is true, i supose a new motor would only be a few quid on ebay wouildnt it,

[sax0chris]

Do it!!! I done mine earlier no dramas. Just sprayed bit of wd40 on e and came off a dream. 19mm rubber grommet to fill gap, used silicone selent to make sure water tight seal.

[lilbenchy9192]

still wont budge tried everything, blazing stero to vibrate it off, left it running for 5 minutes to work loose, been up ans down motorway with it going lol, yanked at it pulled at it twisted it,

might have to just cut it

[Larcomes]

do it :y:

[Wile0ut]

Just done my spare tailgate that i`m repairing took the washer jet out too & put a grommet in the hole,looks much better.

Steve.

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

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.:y:

Steve.:drink:

[Wile0ut]

ahh i get it nice 1 pal the screw idea sounds good to il get that done soon :)

[pussmunky]

[Abass123]

[Saxo1600Vtr]

tried 2 de-wiper mine 2Day ( Mk2 Wiper ) lol, didnt work, took off the 13ml bolt on arm and the wiper wouldnt come off :S anyone no why this is? or did it just happen to me? :/

[Nathan-HxC]

Because they always get jammed on.
Just cut the fucker off with a hacksaw :homme:

[Wile0ut]

+1 they seize up all the time

[Saxo1600Vtr]

Yea, tried using alot of wd-40 and tried going around the thread with a wire brush to free it, and still didnt work, thanks anyway (:
