  • Has anyone got rid of the rear wiper

    Has anyone got rid of the rear wiper altogether? It just looks a bit odd on the back of the car and was thinking of what it would look like without one. Any pics of anyone who has done it? Thnaks

                        What did you do with the motor for the wiper? Just unplug it?

                          I think you have to remove the motor completely. I would imagine the shaft sticking through the hole,after wiper blade arm removal

                            Ahh yea good point! Then all you would need is a gromit to cover the hole. Cool

                              It is handy but I've toyed with the idea too, it just looks out of place.
