REAR WIPER DELETE
« on: 13 June 2011, 15:14 »
Hi all

Am a new member so this is my first post... I'm thinking about taking the rear wiper off my Mk4 for the much cleaner smoother look but need help finding a solution for the hole that will be left once the wiper has been deleated... Any suggestions will be very muched welcomed.

Thanks

Mate it's not a rubber grommet it's a peace of glass and it's a kit it comes with the glue and all that. The thing with the rubber grommets is that there not a perfect seal and they leak and muck up the boot lock( well that's wot happend to a mate of mine)

Fair point.. I'd hate to apply this and end up with a leaking hole in my rear window! £15 does not sound bad at all after thinking about this now.  :smiley:
