"Oh nice you stay up till 2am doing you car but not talking to me Look forward to the pics and where did you get your grommet from? maplins?"

"lol. no well when you remove the motor thus removing the pin the wiper arm sits on there is already a rubber seal there. with a small hole in the middle. so a im short on funds atm all i did was find a bit of rubber cut a bit off and stuck it in the hole then to keep it there i used poly filelr and some no-more nails. and stuffed it with that . its solid now and totaly water tight.

"looking very swish i think you did the mirror on purpose so you can order some that (sorry if its not but..) puntoboy made. you are transparent phil honestly"

actualy if you must know. id already spoken with Phil (puntoboy) about some glass with the inscription. i then realised my mirror glass is wierd and sits into a shroud so the glass has to be perfect size. then i smashed it so im off to go get a new mirror from my local spares shop
