Im not a fan of the rear wiper so have decided to do a DIY to how to remove it, some EG civics motor wipers are held up differently.
One where you can take out the wiper and motor and just place the case+screw back on.
Two, where you take the motor out but you need to buy a plug to hold case into place.
I was stuck with issue 2 so heres how to solve it.
TOOLS NEEDED
- Sink/Drainer plug set ( Can be purchased from Bunnings Warehouse, thanks to EG5 for buying it for me)
- Phillips head screw driver
- 10mm wrench
- 20mm Wrench ( I didnt have one so had to use a adjustable spanner)

Take the plate bolt thingie (I dont know what its called) and screw it on the plug.
Apply a bit of force to get it tight inside as it gets a bit hard to turn so jiggle the hinge plate around to it up more.
