hi all, can someone tell me how to remove the rear wiper, the wiper on my car seems to be sitting little below the rear glass, i did manage to pull the cap off, but didnt have a clue how to remove it so i could adjust it correctly,
As he said, did this on my S3, PITA for sure, but will come of as per fronts aswell can be.
PS. Ewan get on msn for a minute please mate, need something of yer.
still having trouble removing the wiper, i undid the bolt , but the wiper dont come off, soaked it for 15 min with wd40, but it not coming loose at all, am i right in thinking that the noosle stays with the windscreen when the arm comes off? (red arrow) and that round metal ring stays with the wiper arm (green arrow)?
or does the whole metal thing inculding the nossle comes off with the wiper arm?
they can be a pain to remove, I just kept wiggling mine till i came off...
thanks mate will keep trying, its just the damn thing is stuck on solid, by me keep wiggling it it wouldnt break the wiper motor or something wouldnt it?Its seized on, I would continue to soak with wd & keep trying to wedge it of, it will eventually go, just watch the glass obviously, but wiggle side to side, it will eventually come of, then when you refix clean up the rust with some antirust, stick some wd on the fixings, soak the nut in wd aswell, then clean up & grease the shaft before refitting so next time it comes of easier, done this before on my S3 & worked a treat every removal after no problem at all & the ring is a strengthening part for the plastic so it doesnt break, so it should stay with the arm as its not a seperate part according to etka aswell, just watch when sprayng over the fixings that the wd40 doesnt seep through into the rear door internals as it can be quite potent when in shut car & also get into the motor unit.
