VW TECH BY: Chris
 

Take the cover off the rear wiper, pull it towards you. Don't try to remove it, you might crack it. Remove the nut with the 13mm socket.

STEP 2. STEP 3.

Open your hatch, and with the Phillips head, remove the screw in each of the grab handles. They're small, so be careful not to lose them.

CAREFULLY begin to pry the cover off the hatch. CAREFUL, don't force anything, just take your time, feel around and use your brain... it will come off.

STEP 4. STEP 5.

Once the cover is off, you should see the motor staring you in the face... or looking down on you if you are short.

With the 10mm socket, remove the three nuts holding the motor on.

STEP 6. STEP 7.

The electrical connection and washer fluid connection both come off easily.

Tuck them behind this part of the hatch.  If you can find something to plug the fluid hose with do it now (if you cant find a plug, DON'T PUSH YOUR WIPER STALK FORWARD ANYMORE that activates the rear wiper fluid).

STEP 8. STEP 9.

Close your hatch, you should see the rubber grommet.  Take it out, and put it back on the motor. (so you don't lose it).

Clean the glass really good.

STEP 10. STEP 11.

Put some silicone on the cap, where it will come into contact with the glass... don't be shy, lube it up good.

Put the cap in the hole. Press it in firmly, and viola. Wait a few hours for the silicone to dry. It's a lot easier to clean up when its cured.

YOUR DONE!

Job well done!
