 :grin:

its a really simple job

and the grommet u need will be very easy to source, measure the diameter of the hole, go on ebay and do a search for blanking grommets, find one with the internal diameter which is the same as the hole in the tailgate

job done

cost hardly anything

the grommets look ok when they are on the glass, did this mod on my jap car and that was on the glass, on the mk 3 it looks better on a black car as it blends in more, but its not the hole or the gromet that makes it look bab, its the fact its a bulge in the panel that the wiper sits on that makes it look sh!te when the wiper is removed, if its propperly smooted level then it looks cool

iv left mine on as i dont intend to smooth the tailgate....

To be honest, its worth keepin the rear wiper at this time of year, as without it, your not achieving anything? AND its not really shine and show time!
