Removing rear wiper...bunging options...

[Dan]

As title, I will be removing my rear wiper this weekend but I'd like something a bit more permanent than what I'm using to bung the hole up (a rubber bung).
What car was it that I could get the plastic bung from? a citreon AX? where abouts am I looking for this bung?

Cheers,

Dan

I used the Citroen AX part and TBH I think it looks great, its off the AX's rear window, it has 4, 1 in each corner



If you already have a rear wiper (cant remember if you have), then it already has a rubber seal around the hole, all I did was use a large washer on the inside, tighten it up and thats it done ded easy.

One thing I will say, theyre actually metal (hence the nut on the other end you tighten up), i would give it a quick rub down and spray black before putting it on, unless you can find one in good nick.

Hope that helps

Yeah, from what I remember, it goes;

Leave the rubber bit that is already there in place to protect the glass and give you a seal.

Put AX bung thing in place, on the inside of the boot, use a large washer (obviously larger than the hole) then put on and tighten the nut making sure everything is in place before you tighten.

Ive never had any leakage problems with it and I didnt tighten it too much because obviously its glass and its slightly rounded agaings the flat washer and bung (thats where the rubber seal bit thats already on comes in handy)

Honest its ded easy, if I can do it im sure it'll only be a 2 minute job for anyone else!

a rear wiper just causes stains on the back window with dried watermarks

cheers chap, I had done it previously, just wanted something better than what I used before (a rubber bung) to plug the hole.
