Tools Needed



Stock Wiper Removal

  1. Remove the cap covering the wiper attachment




  2. Using a 13mm socket remove the nut retaining the wiper arm.
    Note: now is a good time to mark the position of the spindle and wiper arm to make re-installation easier in the future.

  3. Remove the wiper arm, sometimes on older vehicles a small puller can be a big help.
    Note: Be very careful that you don't break the windshield prying against the glass or letting the arm snap down quickly.  The one used in the picture is a Lisle Tool 54150 Battery Terminal/Wiper Arm puller



  4. Remove the strings holding the rear package shelf up.



  5. Half turn the tool hatch and remove the two T20 Torx screws found underneath.




  6. Remove the other 2 T20 screws hidden in the depressions on either side.




  7. Using your trim tool and working carefully from the center, slowly work the panel off the car.  The trim clips are prety long and quite strong so it can be pretty tough to remove.

  8. Unhook the wiring from the motor by pressing down on the tab to release the connector.




  9. Using a 10mm socket unbolt the motor from your rear hatch and remove it from the car.




  10. Using your fingers push out the grommet from the inside.






Installing the COBB Rear Wiper Delete

  1. 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.




  2. Clean the rear glass on the outside to improve the quality of the seal.

  3. Install the o-ring into the wiper delete (a small amount of silicone lubricant on the o-ring can ensure a tighter seal later.




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

        


  5. 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.




  6. 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.




  7. 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.




  8. Once you're happy with the angle and it's tight, you can zip tie up the wiring so it doesn't rattle.

  9. After trimming the excess off the zip tie you can reinstall the interior in the reverse order of removal.

  10. You're all done!  Go out and enjoy!
