Easy.
:)

Remove the wiper are you are left with a hole.
Go to halfords and pay £0.97 (ish) for a pack of two rubber gromets.

Pop it in.
Job done :D

Fantastic guide!
I still prefere it without the cover more though, as I think it looks a lttle smoother.
But thats only as wiper is attached on the window, without the bracket thats on the Polo.

Thats such a great way of doing a Polo.

Just to get back on topic again... :-)

Only the Mk5 Polo has the 'hole in the window' option, the Mk4's are all cursed with the big oval cutout that requires a big blanking plate.

If only..!
