Fitting the wiper motor rubber grommets is nigh on impossible without causing injury or damage to paintwork.

Here's what I did:

I converted the grommet into a 'top hat' grommet and a flat grommet.
I used an 11mm gasket punch and a piece of 20mm plastic pipe to secure the grommet.
The same could be achieved using a Stanley knife.
I hit the punch with a mallet and screwed the punch half way down the grommet.
Here is the result. One 'top hat' grommet and one flat grommet.
I put the 'top hat' grommet on the top of the mount and located the flat grommet to the underside.
Screwed it all down and it is very secure.
I think the grommet should be supplied in two parts....

That's cheating!!...…..but very ingenious all the same. Well done.

Replacing the very perished wiper mounting rubbers was one of the first jobs I did on my car. I managed to protect the paintwork but it didn't do much for my sanity.

Just about everything else I've done on the car seemed like a doddle after that

I wish you'd have posted this a year ago.

A sharp knife on the original grommets will produce the same effect....
