De-wipering
« on: 18 June 2009, 17:53 »
Right, silly question. I want to depwiper my golf mk3 but dont want to end up spraying the bootlid and smoothing. I have noticed on a few project pages that you can get a small thing that sits in the hole where the wiper goes but i do not have a clue what it is called. Can somebody please tell me what they are called? or even show me where i can get 1? Thanks  :smiley:

Rubber bung or gromit! Sell them in halfords in a multipack of sizes!

theres a glass looking one you can get from somewhere. you might be able to get that and paint that the colour of your choice and it sits more flush than the rubber bungs

Good to see a washer hose bung in the kit, i bet so many people forget to block that up when they take the wiper off.

It is also worth pulling the pipe off the washer bottle under the bonnet.
