Removing the back wiper

[fitzuk86]

Since having my boot smoothed, and all the back windows tinted limo black i thought it would be best to remove the back wiper, ive seen some where the back wiper has simply been removed and something thier instead, how do i go about having it totally smoothed off ?

[SNewham]

well unless you pay someone to make you a new rear window, then you couldn't have it completely smoothed off.


However, you could take the wiper and motor off and put a grommit in it's place. Give me a minute and i'll find my instructions that i wrote and a photo.

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,

[al_VTR]

yes mate, the screw comes through the hole from where the wiper motor spline used to. then the washer (rubber gromit) and screw go on the outside.

this is what it should look like when done

is it really necessary to use sealant after popping in the grommet?

[rushy_23]

Just a quick question, i got pretty much to the end of mine, but was unsure of which wire to cut.

There was a green/white set, and also a black/red set (cant remember totally as it was yesterday) Im sure the black one was going to the motor, but what are the green/white ones for?

What i will do next week is probably take a pic so you guys can help me out better :P lol

[Graeme]

you dont cut any wire matey

just unplug it

[rushy_23]

You know what i mean, mainly i just wanted to know which wire does what.

[ets2k9]

Heres the part numbers to give them
874542 - Plug

I was going to ask if anyone new the part number's, you just saved me a job.

[saxotommy]

my rear window got smashed and iam gettin a new 1 fitted on sat so ive decided to take the whole wiper off . will i able to just unplug the motor and take to the whole motor and wiper off together . :)

[rushy_23]

So you have basically got a peice of glass and no hole for the wiper, bet that looks nice!

[fitzuk86]

Take the wiper arm off. unscrew themoter from behind it, and push the spindle through, put a gromit thier and your done ! i had to saw my wiper arm off. basically just sawed to the side of the screw and it pulled off. it just gave it abit of room to come off
