Rear Wiper Delete

[Chuck]

Hi All, i spent about an hour searching the other night to try and find a gentlemans post but had no luck

I remember seeing a member posting pics/links to a glass gromit to plug the rear wiper hole....can anyone please help me find that post or perhaps guide me to the company that supply the part?

Thanks in advance,

Chuck

I got my plug here... http://www.gecleant.de/shop/index.php.

If you want to do it on the cheap, you can get a plug at Bunnings....

Its pretty common on the Polo UK site, might find a DIY there

From October 2008, I did this full writeup on how to do it...

I removed my rear window wiper, and replaced in with a turned, black anodised aluminum plug in its place.


First, remove the 2 screws in the inside hand holds of the hatch, and pull out the interior trim...



Then remove the cover over the nut of the rear wiper...



Remove the nut holding the rear wiper on, then remove the wiper assembly.
Remove the plug and water hose from the Motor Mechanism, and zip tie out of the way.
Remove the 3 nuts that hold the motor and mechanism on the inside of the tail gate.
Glue in the plug with super glue.
Replace interior trim and screws.

Admire...
