what screws.?

do you mean the bolts to undo the washer motor there is 3 bolts one ontop and two eaither side dont forget to undo the bolt holding the wiper itself under the little flap on the wiper.

i never took the hose off from the engine bay i just blocked it off from the boot end.

the only problem i had was this pinged off from somwhere when i was takeing the plastic cover off

it wasnt until i put it all back on that i realised it was to hold the screw from under the grab handle.
cant be bothered with taking it back off at the moment but will do if it rattles atall.

Is there a way of tweeking the rear screen wash spray so the water will come out backwards
ie. hit the car behind you in a traffic jam ?

:D

that there is i have it done ( not intenually) well if you leave the pipe there after removing the wiper i should think that it will just squitrt it then if you cut a hole in the gromit

i don't have mine dewiperd yet :(

Theres a screw or two in the recessed handle on the plastic inside.

Its pretty easy to do, the worst part is actually pulling the plastic off and replacing it. Mine has never sat right since re-fitting it.
