Hey

I am looking to remove my rear wiper, Does anyone know what type of blanking plate I need for when I have removed it?

Did mine recently mate:

Left it to soak in WD40 to help remove the arm:

Then removed the inner panel:

Then undid the 10mm nuts holding the wiper moter in:

All done:

Inner trim panel was missing a clip, luckily had one in my parts department  :happy2::

It DOES look nicer, but the fact that the Golf suffers from dirty bum syndrome, I am inclined to leave the wiper.  :sad1:
