No idea, I just took the wiper off and measured the hole, drove to B&Q and bought a packet of them. It was Aggggeees ago tho, put my wiper back on since then! :D

Why would you want to de-wiper it mate? Surely better to have than not?

i just think it makes the rear look smoother.

Providing you've rain-x'ed the rear window you dont need one

Cheers Kim :)

I just let the wipers do thier stuff and leave it at that.
