ALT Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 There was discussion about this on the forum a couple of years ago. Has any one removed theirs? It just seems a bit of a pointless item. I didn’t have one on my Prelude – I never found that a problem. This leads to a more general question. You always get rear wipers on hatchbacks, but never on saloons – what gives??

3FIDDYZ Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Kev from Envy removed his recently and he said he had had no issues. Speed and Rain-x or PIAA silicone wash and screen wipe rids mine of water!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Have removed mine as well, no problems at all, just pretty logical to remove it really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 What do you do to fill and hide the hole left on the boot lid? What about the washer jet, I take it you took that off too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I used a simple gromet that was about 50p from a local motor factots although it is now being smoothed out while the car is in the shop. If you take out the washer jet, you need to either remove or clamp the piping that feeds it. Again, you can replace this with another gromet.

P15UL T Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i also took mine off whilst the car was in the bodyshop, smoothed over the wiper hole and i have a plastic gromit bonded over the washer hole. never wished i hadnt done it and rain x also helps Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 There's a guide on the site across the water which may help here. I use mine quite a bit but may try some silicone wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I got one of these I ended up only using the one for the washer, as the bodyshop closed the wiper hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
