[Ben3042]

No

[epo]

yes
i was told a rover metro one works fine

[RJM25R]

both answeres are coreect..... both answeres are wrong. What a paradox....

[seanp1]

where can i get the proper solenoid from then, and how much do they cost.

[Gazza14SR]

supernovas do 1, it was in their sale before xmas time for 25quid including wiring etc etc.

you can try 1 from maplins but ive heard they burn out after awhile.

[Ben3042]

Hard to explain :lol:

I used the boot poper from a ford fiesta xr2i, works fine.

just get a solenoid from someone who's selling one somewhere and wire it up to the rear window wiper. piece of pi** mate. :D

[Gazza14SR]

untill ya driving somewhere and accidently clip it. Dunno if its just me but i always clip the back window wiper switch accidently.

Can you wire it to that put so it only opens when the engine is not running? That'd be safter.

[nova.pimp]

you can wire it up to a brake light and put a switch in so you switch the switch put your foot on the brake pedal and open sesamae
