Anyone have updated photos on how to remove and install the rear wiper plug? With the recent ephatch crash all photos were lost.:mcry:

I dont have any photos but once you remove the plastics around the rear hatch it becomes self explanatory.. I did it without a diy, it was just time consuming no matter how you go at it.. I suggest really thinking about it befor you do it.

I was thinking about doing this yesterday. Then I ordered another wiper blade for winter.

Just a bit of information that I keep bringing back the 'hatch for you guys.

Red box is where you take off the nut that holds the wiper arm on.
Blue box is where you *pull* the wiper arm off. There is no twisting involved. Twisting may actually make it easier to break the rear window. Its vertically threaded. Safest way (if you still want your wiper arm and rear window) would be to use a 3 arm puller. Or you could just hack the wiper arm off with a dremel. :mangel:
