grantmax Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 if I remember correctly. Pull off the rubber seal and there are some philips head screws .... hey presto its off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintin360 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 On the right hand side if your looking at the car, there is a small bit of plastic held on by 3 screws, take that off and the whole plastic bit under the windscreen should be able to be pulled off. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm guessing you haven't yet attempted it?Removing the scuttle is pretty easy. I also had to fix a wiper linkage on my GTI and there were no special tricks or tips to getting to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I had the same, my wiper linkage kept repeatedly popping from its movement joint/socket, so I drilled a hole striaght thru the joint, ran a stainless bolt thru with washers either side, never come undone again and never had an issue.Pic: Edited February 20, 2013 by BEP51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 A brand new linkage (there are 2 of them) is only about £10.But good bodge Bep51! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm going to fix mine on my new Lupo eventually. Currently they quite regularly stop half way down the screen when on the single wipe every 5 seconds or whatever it is called. Right pain in the **** to be honest, luckily it isn't consistently doing it otherwise I'd get right brassed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy a whole unit second hand off someone on the forum, 2 days and it did exactly the same thing. So just drilled it.
