There's a memeber on here who's de-wipered his MK3, he's actually said what size gromet to use.

Callum_K check this build thread out, I'm sure he's mentioned it in there.

Cheers lads, yeah sure could measure it but would rather have the part ready to fit, rather than running around in my gas guzzler !

I've just put a wiper back on mine, previous owner took it off for some reason. I personally couldn't go without it. I should have the old grommet kicking about somewhere if it's any use to you?
