Pull the nut cap up, unscrew the nut, pull the arm off.

Open the boot, take the plastic covering off the boot lid on the inside.

Un-screw the 3 bolts that hold the motor in, and pull out.

Place a little tiny screw or something in the washer pipe, so that it doesn't leak in your boot!

Find a suitable sized grommet to put in the hole in the window! (Can pick up different sizes from halfords for a few quid!)

Job done!

on the plastic covering on the boot where the handles are remove them two screws then unclip the cover all the way round (be carefull as clips are very sensitive, i managed to break two of mine)

cut the pipe off from the motor that the water comes through and seal it off.

unscrew the 3 bolts on the motor and remove the plastic casing from outside of the wiper and unscrew the large bolt on the back.

the motor and wiper should now be easy to remove

use a 24mm grommit to fill the gap where the wiper was and a bit of sealant

job done

I'll be undertaking this job in the next few weeks at some point so will take some photos and do a write-up

Cheers

You don't need a write up to be honest, it's as easy as pulling the front grille out!
