Matty. Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Quite easy to do really;(off the top of my head)remove the boot lining, the bit on the boot door, theres two screws in each handle which you take off first then gently pull off from one side to the other trying not to break the clipsthen take the arm off from the outside, think a spanner is needed not surethen take off the screws holding the motor on from the inside and remove the water hose. i screwed a screw into the water hose so it wouldn't leak but as long as you make sure you never hit it then you'll be finesome bits are fiddly but nothing major. tuck some of the cables behind some gapsthen just get a 22 or 25mm grommet from halfords for the hole then put the boot lining back onyou can also get a glass insert for about £23 online, which is what i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chfs911 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I'll buy the bits you take off as my wife wants a wiper put back on her GTI.I have the grommit in exchange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafcross Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 The only hard thing about it is putting the boot lining back on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarroll Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 The only hard thing about it is putting the boot lining back on!Nah its not. Its all pretty simple. The piece which comes from the motor through the window has the thread on and the tighter it was screwed on in the first place the tighter the thread will be. When taking the wiper arm be forcefully gentle, if thats possible. If you push the wiper up at the joint, not the arm, it will break the spline thread and bobs your uncle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toi gulp Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 my rear wipers broken for some reason and its given up in the vertical position so ive just tried removing it to find out where its broken (not fuse) and the plastic o' ring going around the threaded washer jet was perished and cracked which is likely the cause of it not working.Anyway could i take the wiper arm off......... could i hell! everything is seized solid and even much wd40 soaking doesnt work. before i take the hacksaw to it anyone got any suggestions?

Stevie_Stokes Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I did mine with my mate last night... he did his on a corsa and said after you remove the nut.. you may need a 'Ball Joint Remover' to get it off.. but we jsut sprayed it with GT85.. and used a bit of man muscle to get her off .. jsut put against your windscreen and thumb on the water jet and didnt have a grommet that fitted caus he had the biggest on his corsa.. so used the old rubber and put the 19mm grommet in the end of that... Quick fix (Y).and my Rear Jet has been ****er for years... so i jsut clipped it and put some superglue in the end to prevent any minging water thats left from coming out.took us MAX 10 mins <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMInsite Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I done this couple of weeks back . Easy as hell . But dont push the grommet too hard otherwise it will fall in the boot . I used a 26mm grommet from halfords . Is there anyway i can secure the grommet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toi gulp Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 i put a halfords grommet in but just put a line of silicone sealant under the ridge. works a treat and jet wash wont dislodge it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatdi Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 does anyone know if a 24mm grommit will be alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Alot of my mates use barends from their bikes. Wont fit every car but looks good and you can get different colours and pics on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
