Installing the COBB Rear Wiper Delete

Using a 13mm socket run the plastic nut down the threads on the delete and then remove, this is to loosen the threads a little bit to make getting it started by hand a little bit easier.

Image Added
Clean the rear glass on the outside to improve the quality of the seal.
Install the o-ring into the wiper delete (a small amount of silicone lubricant on the o-ring can ensure a tighter seal later.

Image Added
Install the small end of the rubber bumpers into the hold down bar.

Image Added Image Added
Next up you'll slide the appropriate rubber washer on to the threads. This helps eat up the space between the delete and the glass and makes it easier to keep centered. For the MK7 you'll use the medium sized one.

Image Added
Holding the delete in place with one hand, get the bar on the back with the flat side of the bumpers towards the glass, and start slowly tightening the nut.

Image Added
Once it's close to tight, get the logo angled to your liking and tighten it down. Tightening more can make it look more flush but be careful not to over-tighten or it can shatter the glass.

Image Added
Once you're happy with the angle and it's tight, you can zip tie up the wiring so it doesn't rattle.
After trimming the excess off the zip tie you can reinstall the interior in the reverse order of removal.
You're all done! Go out and enjoy!
