Instructions for a Golf VI

Dismantling the rear window wiper using the example of the Volkswagen Golf VI.

 

The whole procedure can be broken down into three parts:

– Disassembly of the wiper

– Disassembly of the wiper motor

– the installation of the plug

 

  1. Disassembly of the wiper.

 

Lift the cap on the wiper arm and loosen the M10 nut.

 

Then fold up the wiper arm and move it gently in different directions.

The wiper arm should now detach from the cone of the motor shaft.

 

 

 

 

  1. Disassembly of the wiper motor

 

Disconnect the vehicle battery.

Open the tailgate and remove the lower tailgate panel.

To do this, remove the two Torx T20 screws in the recessed grip.

 

Slide a plastic wedge under the panel. It is best to start at the bottom of the tailgate edge. Pull the panel with a little force. Leave the spring clips in place (8 pieces). The tailgate spring clips are located there (interior view).

It can always break something, but at ambient temperatures above 20 ° C there should be no problem.

Then remove the tailgate trim from the window trim. Now you will see the wiper motor.

Disconnect the cables from the wiper motor.

Secure the loose cables to an existing wiring harness with cable ties.

 

Then loosen the three screws and carefully remove the wiper motor from the tailgate.

 

 

  1. the installation of the plug

 

Thoroughly clean the disc and stopper beforehand with a solvent-free cleaner.
Then pull a narrow bead of adhesive / adhesive strip approx. 1mm from the edge of the hole onto the window from the inside.
Then press the carefully cleaned stopper into the hole from the inside and align the stopper.

Hints: There must not be too much adhesive on the window so that it does not come into contact with the visible surface of the plug when it is pressed in. However, it should be sufficient to enable continuous bonding all around.

 

If a bit of glue oozes out on the inside, that’s not so bad, you can spread it around the stopper and thus provide additional support. (the rest of the glue in the 3g tube is also suitable for this)

 

 

Wait until the window adhesive has completely hardened. Assemble the tailgate trim in reverse order. Make sure that the spring clips are correctly seated.

Enjoy the clean look of the car!

Glass flush wiper delete kits from gecleant.de – the ORIGINAL!

Small (glass) plug, big effect – remove the rear wiper and replace it with a suitable glass insert – clean rear view of the car with minimal tuning effort!

We invented the wiper hole plugs for the rear window in 2007: I was in the tuning scene for years and with my own “JTI 2006 project” I wanted to tick off all vehicle refinement checkboxes: FFF (chassis, rims, finished) + Alcantara interior, beads removed/cleaned and so on . Everything is as high quality as possible but reduced to the essentials. I was satisfied, but it always bothered me that the asymmetrically positioned rear window wiper disturbed the rear view. Do you need a rear wiper? No. does he look stupid Yes. So remove… Seal the wiper water line … and what happens to the hole in the window? When I was looking for ways to close the rear wiper hole, I only found a chunky plastic nub in the hardware store. That didn’t work at all. So I had the idea of making something that is easy to install and looks good: Our first product in 2007 was a milled aluminum wiper hole insert that I primed by hand in the garage and then painted and sold. My friends at the time from the vagboard (does anyone still know that?), were the pioneers in “rear wiper removal”. For more than 15 years we have been optimizing our offer, the processes and everything that can be done better when it comes to glass stoppers. Today, gecleant.de is a manufactory that produces glass plugs (or rather, rear wiper covers or blind plugs for the rear window wiper hole) for over 1,000 vehicle models in Germany, the product range is constantly expanding and shipped worldwide from Leipzig .

We’re the inventors of the rear wiper cover… and I’m really proud of that.
