I'm thinking of removing my rear wiper as I saw it done on R1DANs car and thought it looked trick.

Does anyone know what size grommet I need to buy and how simple this is to do?

Was about to ask myself.
I seem to remember it being a nightmare finding the right sized one however doing the job is easy and very satisfying.
About 10 mins work, one socket and a xpoint. Easy money.

I was joking Did smile I too evidently had the problem of not being able to express what I was saying.

I have a feeling 28mm springs to mind. However I resurrected the thread on the GB's section about a month back, maybe it says in there?

The one I fitted to my last coupe wasn't a perfect fit and that was from the GB so maybe we can come up with a better solution?
