D.I.Y Rear wiper delete with plug
This DIY is on my DC5 but applies to most all vehicles. This install only took 20-30 minutes of my time but definitely looks great.
Here is my plug, around $25 bucks


And here is how my car sits now


First start with the outside cover over the wiper arm bolt. Just pop the cover up to expose the 12mm nut.

Then pull off the wiper arm

Remove the rubber cover and use a cresent wrench to remove the large nut

Next go inside the car and start with the phillips screw in the handle.

next remove the screws in the tabs that hold up the rear window screen

Next use a door popper to remove the side panels


Then pull down the main wiper motor cover

Here is the exposed hatch

Unplug the motor

Remove the 3 10mm bolts holding the wiper on

Pull it down and shut the hatch.

Now remove the metal washer

and pop out the grommet

Now time to install! put it in the hole and screw it together. That easy!

clean and admire
