How to - Wiper Removal / Delete


Mack

Recommended Posts

First of all thanks for this guide Mack!

 

Took about 30 minutes in total, however I used one of these to blank. A bit over priced (in my opinion) and took me lots of trial and error with the paint but got there in the end! http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ac6ade2ba

 

Second of all (as above) I found that the 22mm grommet was better for the washer jet.

 

I turned the one way valve around but would like to disconnect the washer motor. Does anyone know what washer bottle this is on before I start taking the front of the car apart?

 

Sure its linked to the same bottle as the fronts, ie there is only 1 bottle. I THINK!

Thanks, I do have 2 bottles though. Maybe because of the headlight washers? One either side

Its great to hear my guide has been some use.

 

Cheers for this thread. Was a lot of help apart from I ended up using a 22mm grommet for the washer jet.

Thanks again

 

Thanks for the feedback, Ive updated the guide with the correct grommet size.

Take some photos and I will add them to the guide.

 

There are 2 bottles, they sit just ahead of the front wheels. I understand one has the pump for the headlight washers and the other the pump for the window washers but I'm not 100% sure. They are connected together by pipes.

 

If you remove one of the pumps or bottles you will need to blank off the pipe outlets.

Mack,

 

Thanks so much for the break down.

 

I am stuck trying to get these parts in US or Canada, most of the stuff here is non-metric. If there happens to be readers of this thread from outside the UK like me, please let me know where I can pick up similar parts. Halfords will not ship across seas.

Had a go at this yesterday. What should be a simply job turned out to be an hour in the freezing cold with no joy. The wiper arm is stuck on the shaft and no matter what i try it will not come off! Even a hammer and some heat didn't help :lol: Looks like my car would prefer to stay wipered up
