R32 Demister And Aerial

[Dougz32]

Im getting my rear windscreen taken out so i can do some rust work.

I've been told i have to unplug the demister and aerial, also take off the rear wiper and washer squirter before they'll take the window out.

Could someone please point me in the right direction as to where the plugs for the demister and aerial are. Then also how to remove the rear wiper and washer.

Cheers.

To revove wiper there should be a plastic cover at the base of the arm. Lift that and undo the nut. Lift the arm fully up away from the window and wriggle it off.

Demistor plugs are on inside of window generally in middle. Not sure if it's hiding behind covers or in plain view.

Not sure where aerial is on a 32. Does it go through the glass? Maybe access through the boot looking up?

I've basically removed all the interior from the back of the car. I've found the plugs.

I removed the wiper arm but i think i have to remove the whole thing. Theres a large nut under the wiper arm but it is very corroded and im not sure whether i'll be able to get it undone.

Has anyone else had this problem?

The aerial in the 32 is in the front screen.

There is also one in the rear screen.

Alright. I May have to do the same. I very rarely use my rear wiper anyway. I dont think i'd miss it.

Thanks

Where do you get these plugs from. My rear wiper doesnt work and its not the fuse so its never used.

be aware that removing your rear wiper arm is probably going to earn you a defect notice
