I dont really like the rear wiper on my 01 tt. Ive heard of people deleting them. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Yes, get rid of that rear wiper.

 

But HOW do you remove all of it? On the Bumperplug website it shows a pic of a TT with no wiper and a PLUG filling the hole where it used to be.....if I just remove my wiper I STILL have a splined stub sticking up......how difficult is it to remove the whole wiper assembly?

Ahh, gotcha.

It's very simple, actually. You need to undo the nut that is located underneath the plastic cover of the wiper assembly (on the outside). You will then go inside the car, pull back the carpet at the rear window (it's a bit more tricky if you have the Bose, but you get the idea). You can then unhook it from the brackets(you might need to unscrew a few things, but not many), unhook the plug, and be done.

 

Very easy, I just did it.
pull up on cover over wiper nut on base of wiper (outside of car).
loosen nut and remove actual exterior wiper assembly.
inside car:
move driver seat all the way forward, fold down rear seat.
the interior panel that gets removed is the only one in the very back of
car which is on a vertical surface (it runs from one side of car to another).
it pulls straight out towards you (not up or down--straight out towards
front of car). There are about 5-6 metal clips that hold it in place.
after pulling panel, unplug wiper motor (1) connection, and unbolt unit
from back of car (2-3 nuts). replace clips onto metal tabs on car body,
push panel onto clips, intall plug that you order today along with
clear side markers. use waterproof clear silicone to hold plug into place.
the rear of your car now looks much better!

I have trouble seeing the ricers in the rear view if it isn't clean
