    True test tonight - pouring at the moment!

    Edit: No problems so far! The grommets hold on pretty well.

    I used plugs I found lying around the house, 18 months and never a drop nor any signs of moisture. They are in incredibly tight though...

    it works fine with my plugs so i didn't think those plugs would have a problem. there is no actual pressure to force a leak so there is no problem. the only time you might see a bit of water come in is if you were to drive into the sea... and if you do that, you probably have alot of other stuff to worry about - lol!

    those blanking grommets look awesome. i told the guy what i was looking for and he had no idea and pointed me to those xmas tree things. i'll be going out today to get some of those ones!

    But what about all the disturbed air flow that rear wiper causes??

    Having both a car with and without a rear wing I can say that your rear window gets MUCH MUCH dirtier without the wing on ... still looks 1 million x better than the el crapo chalky wing!!!

    Also, no rear head-rests?
