Rear wiper delete

I am fed up with the rear wiper spoiling the lines of the car so have decided to remove it.

I remember seeing something about a kit being available to seal with rear screen, but cannot find any more info.

Any clues and tips i should know?

Many thanks Andy.
 
I thought as an alternative to a new rear screen you only had the Bung option :dont know:

You then need to have the rear shelf re-covered, or find a suitable material to slot in the gap where the drive shaft came through.
 
Hi Andy
I presume you're talking about the bung route? I did a wiper delete but went for the bung option... I'd only just had a new rear screen fitted with a hole when I had a full glass out repaint. (Some of the heater elements of the original weren't working)
I know you can get plain and heated rear screens without the hole.

I did take out the rear parcel shelf (stored away safely!) and I had a local guy make up a posh foam backed RS style carpet version.

I kept all the original cables, cable tied these up neatly and sealed the connectors in plastic bags.

Ping me a PM if you'd like some more info.

Cheers
Mike

Excellent responses chaps. I am also planning on the "bung" method, certainly until for the time being.

I will get the old girl out tomorrow and will investigate how far I want to go with it. I was sort of hoping I could simply remove the wiper and motor and the job would be a good one. Alas it does not seem quite that easy. No surprise there.

Many thanks for the offer Mike, I might most likely be back in touch.

No prob.:thumb:
It is easy but you will be left with an unused tube or if you remove the section (that slides in to the parcel shelf) a slot that in my opinion will look a bit odd.

I'm more than happy to pull out the new 'shelf' and take a pic if you want.
I searched all this out on the forums etc before I got out my socket set!!

Oh, before I forget... the screw thread in the bung I bought had to be trimmed to fit to make it sit tight against the glass, I also used some silicone to make sure it didn't leak too.

Porsche do a window bung, its annodised alloy and a 944 part from the club sport I believe.
