Removing the rear wiper???

[glyn1980]

Right, currently doing some colour coding, currently doing bumpstrips and will be doing handles and fog light surrounds. I am also wanting to do the semi circular plastic bit at the back where the rear wiper is. My question is how is best to do this? does anyone know how to take the rear wiper off and will the semi circular bit come off too? I have a haynes manual, but it doesn't say anything about the rear wiper.

I'm also going to colour code scuttle panel and fit a new splitter, although not sure which.

Cheers

I'd leave the semi circle bit alone tbh. It says on here how to remove the rear wiper.

Looks daft imho

I think he only wants to remove the wiper to paint the semi circle part, then he's putting it back on ?

Yolu can get carried away with colour coding IMHO.... sometimes the standard look with a bit of plastic, as long as it is well looked after, is the way to go....

It's only held on by a bolt, which is should be easy enough to get off, BUT the wiper arms are usually seized and can be a royal pain to get off.

Yep! would never remove completely last car did not have one and hated it for it. The semi circle bit has now turned a very light grey and I don't fancy back to blacking the stupid thing every fortnight!
