Rear Wiper Delete

[Clarkey]

After weeks of practising not to use my rear wiper, I'm confident it won't annoy the f*ck out of me when its gone.

Just looking for a few pointers.

1st) how the hell do you get the trim off to get the motor etc?
I can only find 1 screw?

2nd), do I remove the motor too?

Anyone thats done this before who can give advice would be very much helpful

its a mk2ph2 04 1.216v dyna

kthxbye

there are a number of screws across the panel, and removing that will give you access to the wiper motor.

3 bolts and a plug on the wiper motor.

There is only 1! :S

1 screw
rest of it just pulls out with some considerable force, poppers i think
remove the motor as well

then you need a a grommit form halfords to plug zee hole!

 

[Clarkey]

aha, thanks Dweed.
Shame I'm on night shifts and don't have the comfort of a lit garage, so I'll do this on the weekend

by the way, a lot of people spend a lot of time grafting filling the hole in the rear wiper surround and are completely unaware that the poverty spec models without a rear wiper had a blank surround and you can buy them from renault too.

part number

I'm at work at the moment, I'll get on Dialogys later on and get a part number on here mate

My Saxo Vts runaround has had the rear wiper removed, it's the most annoying thing in the world. Keep meaning to go to a scrapyard to get a new motor/arm.

Seems the most pointless modification in the world imo.

Yeah, can't say I see the point in this mod. I don't have a rear wiper - with my car being a saloon - and it does my tits in sometimes.

 

[Clarkey]

Each to there own.
My car gets cleaned every 2-3 days so its never dirty.

 

[joebristolgym]

But what about when it rains - surely you can't see out the back then - especially on a motorway when all the cr*p is sucked onto the back window?

It does my nut in on the Saxo - and I think it just looks weird without the wiper!

 

[jimjim150]

Yeah: at night + rain = not a chance of seeing whether that's a traffic cop behind you :rasp:

 

[Daza]

dosent matter if you have extreme tints though :S

8200245091 is the part number for the rear wiper blank

 

[nathdawg]

Any idea of a price?

 

[mr.pink87]

That is the blanking plate of a clio ragnotti (the lightweight continental 172 cup) which is as far as i know not available anymore. all poverty spec clios came with rear wiper afaik.

 

[nathdawg]

So can't this wiper blank be purchased anymore? :/

 

[Stay Puft]

Kind of thread related. Got my rear wiper off with the ball joint splitter, easy.. but this plastic bit, do these plastic points need to come out/off for my new one to go in? Tried pulling out with my hands, need some grips.. or any other tips?

 

[Stay Puft]

Ignore me, clips just slide out and swap over, didnt notice!
