Well £15 for a piece of tiny glass is just ridiculous IMO,  i used a £1.70 grommet and some silicone, no leaks, no holes etc, its a perfect fit ,  and with reference to what its like on a wet day,, well you cant see much, but i just use the wing mirrors!! 

I would much rather have the clean look on the back than a wiper blade, and its comign up to summer so only thing to worry about hopefully is dust on the back screen!

I cant understand getting rid of the rear wiper, the rear of a mk 4 is the worst design car for collecting dirt on the back end.

You have side mirrors don't you.  :tongue:
Besides, if the rear screen gets dirty, clean it.

I made a plug out of 3mm perspex, 3ish quid from ebay, a dremel and black sealant. Looks great imo.

Halfords sell a pack of mixed rubber grommets, one of them fits, can't remember which size off the top of my head.
