rear window wiper
« on: 13 October 2008, 00:20 »
So i was thinking in taking it off as it looks better without it and seen it on other cars and looks alot better but obviously when you take the wiper off you have a hole on the window so where can i get those filler caps from? any links?

its a hatchback so the rear gets covered in road grime and sh!te - removing the rear wiper looks good but IMO far too impractical for our weather

Halfords do 3 grommets for £1.50 I thought. Venom do a glass bung its EXPENSIVE at a score but does look awesome.
