I bought the venom one and the fitting was shocking 1.5 mm gap around the diameter which the bloke told me to “Just fill with silicone”  :confused:

Got the gecleant one and it fits perfect.

Look out of the windscreen and use the front wipers as per usual I'd imagine...  :grin:

too be honest..... I hardly ever use the rear wiper, only time it kicks in is when i reverse and thats due to it being done automatically!

Yay, at least someone used the link,

Trust me the venom ones are crap for double the price, I have got a custom blank from Gecleant waiting to go on my car just need to free the wiper arm off  :fighting:

Might as well go the whole hog, save some weight and get the rear view mirror deleted as well then  :grin:

Rain-x, no need for a rear wiper, or even front wipers if you on a motorway. :grin:

I think it tidy's up the back end, also extra weight thats not needed.... rain-x does the job!
If it's not broke, Mod it.....

What is this rain-x witchcraft you speak of?

The other reason I like a rear wiper is because I'm old enough to remember when basic models didn't have them, just a black piece of plastic hiding the hole!
