Removing rear wiper

[Tom 46]

I'm sure this has been asked/answered many times before but, how do you remove the rear wiper?

I had a quick look at it last night but couldn't see how its removed :S.

Do you need to take the boot card thing off?

Help and pics would be appreciated

Iirc i think you just undo the interior trim on the boot inside undo the motor and linkage wires ect, pull it out, pop a grommet in the hole, might have to clip the wires back together, i had to in my last fiesta.

cool, thanks mate. will go and have a better look if this bloody rain stops lol

lift the plastic cover, undo the nut (10mm iirc) and use a pulling tool to remove it from the splines.

 

[Tom 46]

Thanks fudge, bit of a noob question but where is the nut? On the outside or inside?

Cheers.

[Tom 46]

oh the irony

lol yeah, whose idea was this...

Think ill be doing this myself soon. I've seen a couple of the french boys motors with a flush trim. The trim that usually has hole in for rear wiper. But fook knows where they got it

I did mine.

Lift up the plastic cap and undo the bolt.
Then i wd40 itand it came off easy as anything.
Then open the boot and remove the trim,
Undo the bolts which Hold the motor on.
Then on the ouside remove the large nut at the bottom of the stem.
Then it just pulls out.

Then i used the plastic plating and smoothed it otu with some body filler.

Thanks mate rain has stopped now

 

[Tom 46]

I've just had another look but i dont know what the 'plastic cap' is. :S
Do you mean the backing plate, or the wiper arm itself?

Sorry about this

 

[Riley!]

you need a plastic cap to bung up the hole for when you remove the rear wiper moto. As it will leave a hole. Is that what you mean?

 

[Tom 46]

no, i bought a cap from someone off here a while ago so thats sorted.
People say "lift up the plastic cap and undo the bolt" but i dont know what they mean and cant see any bolt

 

[StephenJ]

plastic cap on the wiper by the sounds of it mate

 

[jesus]

The plastic cap is the bit at the bottom of the wiper arm! On the outside silly.

 

[Riley!]

who did you get the cap off fella, could do with one myself

Thats the one

 

[Tom 46]

sorry about that guys, im just not with it today lol...well it is my day off so i guess i have an excuse

anywhoo, i got it off and got the new plate on and it looks soo much better. Thanks for all your help guys :star:

now i don't know wether to keep it black or colour code it lol

 

[AlexG]

Leave balck

 

[DantheClioman]

Looks good! But keep it black imo, blends into the rear window. CC'ing it'll make it stand out!

 

[Tom 46]

Yeah i think ill leave it black, it looks good

 

[Riley!]

where did you get the new blanking cover?

 

[DrR]

Put it back on TBH

 

[Tom 46]

where did you get the new blanking cover?

I bought it from a guy off here, MT Audio iirc. I just sprayed it black

 

[Riley!]

is it the whole cover or just a plug for hole?

 

[Tom 46]

Its the standard cover that has been fiberglassed over by the look of it, he made a good job of it.
I know that you can get grommits to fit in the hole, and renault used to sell the blank covers but i dont know if you can get hold of one now. Best bet is to put it up in the wanted section.

Don't really understand why people remove the rear wiper as I use mine to clear the rear screen when on the motorway etc

 

[Tom 46]

I know what you mean, i just think it looks a lot more tidy at the back.

Although i might end up putting it back on after a while lol

Gonna take mine out to save the weight, track car is doesnt matter!

hey guys

I want to remove my rear wiper!
But when I'm removing the wiper, I want to remove the switch.

Does anybody have the part number of the wiper switch without rear wiper (from ragnotti?) in HARM02 interieur code.

If anybody have the leading seven digits of a VIN from a ragnotti (VF1...) it would be also helpful.

Thanks a lot!
