Am doing away with the wiper and washer jet there, got a big pack of grommits and got 1 that i think will do the job for the washer jet, but havnt got any big enough for the wiper hole.

Anyone know what size i need to find? Or better still anyone got one that they could post to me if i sort postage etc, thanks

Ok just measured my tailgate as I have the wiper motor removed and the hole is about 18mm diameter but you also have a slight cut out at the top where the motor slotted into position.

Now it turns out I don't have any grommets here and I wont be able to get mine until next weekend but if you can hang on till then I will have one that fits. I have this selection box...

There is one size where "B" the drilled hole size is 19mm so should be a snug fit.

I used Renault OE bungs from an R5 TS (the only model that had them). Paul B helped me source them. Funnily enough they fitted better than any other non-oe grommits I tried to find and fit...

Incidentally, I don't have the part numbers, sorry.

Going to bump this as I need to blank the 2 holes on the tailgate and if anyone has the size for the smaller hole (washer jet) aswell or the renault part numbers for blanking plugs would be fantastic. I need to know asap as I want to order or pick them uptoday and car not here.

Cheers James
