Had the dreaded rotating rear wiper jet, so fitted a new wiper motor unit to my mk4....

Surprised how difficult the tailgate panel is to remove, got the power shakes trying to get it off.  Came off with some massive creak and a bang.

Removed old wiper unit, retro-fitted some water protection over the lock etc (a bit ghetto but basically a piece of carefully positioned plastic sheet and some gaffer tape) and fitted the new wiper unit over the top of that > Part # 1J6955711C

Realised taking washer hose off I'd damaged the brittle plug, so did the DIY fix with some Halfords hose and cable ties.  Hardest part again was getting the tailgate panel back on, I really needed 4 pairs of hands!!!

Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?
