Vertical rear wiper DIY help
This is a post in response to :
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/1st-...t-jazz-gd.html
That was a great post and should be helpful for fit owners who want to verticalize its rear wiper.
However, excuse me being a noob, from the steps demonstrated on above post, it is still unclear to me about how we are supposed to take off the black covering of the trunk door in order to expose the inner stuffs under (in this case the dynamo)
Besides, the post only shows diagram pictures from a GD model.
I do not want to break things unnecessarily from my car. If anybody has ever done this to ur GE, could you please clarify?
And after we are done with all the steps, when we are putting back all stuffs together again, in what position should we put the rear wiper back on? Is it vertically or is it horizontally (so the wiper will automatically readjust to vertical position when we turn it on as a result of the steps we did)?
Thanks for your help

Thanks sir wpyeo
I saw this thread before. But my problem lies in step 1, where it only show the position of the clip holes attaching the cover to the trunk.
I am confused how we suppose to pull out the cover. Should we tear the whole thing off with force to pop out the clips off its place? Or maybe there is a spot where we can start with using a tool (like a screwdriver) instead of tearing it off.
I do not want to make any irreversible damage because that is a big chunk I'm pulling out, that's why i am hesitant to use force.
With all regards, could you please clarify a bit further?
Any help will be very much appreciated

just pull REALLY hard. i was scared at first because I thought I would break something (when the clips come off, it makes a really loud POP)
but u can actually bend the plastic just enought to see where the clips are and just pull. I had 2 clips that were still stuck onto the metal frame. I just used dental floss, wrapped it around the clips....and pulled it off.
its very easy.....wear gloves tho. the edges of tend to hurt alittle since you have to use force to rip off the panel.
heres mine:
before
after

aaahh I see now, i will start to pull mine hard then starting today.
I will give u updates soon
Any information about those 5 unnumbered clips from the pictures? Or should I just ignore em?
When we put the rear wiper back on, should I put it vertically? Or should I put it back on its original pos and let the motor reposition itself?
Thanks a lot again sir wpyeo, sir stalonehong, and sir thelox.
I greatly appreciate ur help

I did it last night, and it worked quite well. Just taking a lil while in repositioning the wiper back to make a perfect pattern on the rear window.
Thanks a lot guys, you have been great help in this matter.
