Hey everyone,


My rear wiper arm was intentionally torn off and I don't want to put a new one on because this seems to be a common occurrence in my neighborhood (15 cars have already have had their rear wipers torn off on different days). I already removed the broken wiper arm. Is there a cap I can put on where the bolt is for the rear wiper. I've seen WK2's with no wiper and have this cap. Not sure where to get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

So i plan on removing my wiper on the read completely since ill be ceramic coating the windows. once the motor and wiper are completely removed there will be a rubber boot left. the boot will have a protruding piece of rubber and you'll have to push that in flush and then simply take some laminx or vinyl and wrap the rubber boot completely and use a heat gun to activate the glue and enclose it, then trim excess.

Also if you want to pay the $30 Euro Tuning has a billet plug you can also buy which i may do also.

Hmmm interesting. I was hoping I wouldn't have to remove the motor and would just be even able to put a screw on cap where the arm was. Might just try and make my own solution to this problem or just put on a new rear wiper and hope for the best...

I personally would not remove the motor...someday the vehicle will need to go on the market and be restored. Only having to reinstall a wiper arm and wiper blade is a lot more convenient in that respect.
