Despoilering Your Rocco

[Rocco Ben]

On some beautiful pics i've seen of despoilered roccos the rear window wiper has been removed also. i was just wondering do these people have to get like new rear glass with no hole in?
so how? and where?

example:


thanks for any help given

You can actually buy a piece of ready made glass that you glue into the wiper spindle hole. You should find them on eBay, and various companys that advertise performance parts in PerformanceVW magazine sell them. If I remember rightly they're about £20,quite expensive for a little piece of glass.

just use a rubber grommet or something similar, i just used a black threaded cap off a Citroen AX boot, its threaded so theres a washer and a nut on the inside of the glass.

better than having a gaping hole in your rear window though
do you know of anyone who has done this? sounds like it wouldn't look entirely smooth

This does look awesome, I'm planning on doing this in the summer, I was just gonna use a plug.

[Rocco Ben]

could plug it and then like put a vw logo on the plug or sumthing. to stop it looking random

[RoccoGuy]

didn't some early mk2's have no rear wiper?

there you go. . .the stickers are gone now btw

[Rocco Ben]

that looks pretty tidy actually thought it'd be a bigger hole.

i might go for it ;)

It's not that big at all.
I've been on the look out for a poverty spec rear glass for years, ever since I de wipered the old Rocco and they are proper "Egay rare". I even went so far as to consider mashing it so I could get one from the RAC but even they can't find them. It seems the best thing to do is to bung it and seal it, you hardly notice it's there.

I may have a go with the left over clear perspex from the lights, Nice Butt Plug by the way Andy lol

That does look good with no spoiler. Quite tempted to do that myself.
