cj1 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thinking of removing the rear wiper, however, what do you use to cover the hole with?And as stupid as this question may sound, if you remove it, then press the washer for the rear, would water just be squirting out of the line and into the car somewhere? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR there's some in B and Q too that are like much thicker and better IMO and there's more in the pack. um and yeah, it will just leak water otherwise. what i did was put a dab of bathroom sealant in the hole and stuck it on the bolt that holds the wiper. this also meant when i re installed the wiper i just pulled it off and the Line was nice and clean with nothing blocking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn't really fancy the idea of pressing it by accident and the car getting water in it somewhere!Will have a look at halfords & b&q for the blanking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerwagen Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Used a piece of black vinyl cut into a circle bigger than the hole. It matches the glass perfectly and keeps a smoother look. I've had the same on my Nissan for 2 years with no problems at all.As for the rear wash I bent a kink in the tube and cable tied it back on itself nice and tight. The kink acts as a seal. Simples.

Adam R4 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) i just popped the pipe off the washer bottle that feeds the rear wiper and replaced it with another pipe that i routed down to my chasis leg, just incase i pressed it it had a place to go other than in my boot. I used an inch grommet, We've got some in work that i used, think a pack is less than £1 to me. Edited December 24, 2011 by Adam R4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I pulled out the pipe, folded it over and cable tied it tight, no issues and just put a halfords bung in the hole but will be putting a glass on in there soon!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
