I love my rear wiper, if it rains or snows, there is no way to get it off the rear without the wiper, I tried rain-x, the defrost, nothing works....

but I guess if you live where it doesn't usually rain and you want a more pleasant picture...its all good

 

I say cool if u do it ur self. But 25$ for matching paint plugs shipped to my door that i can order at 1:30 am in my boxers drinking a beer and watching ****. I dont see anything wrong with that. Ok back to my beer and ****...

 

WHat is the exact size of the plug from Home Depot?

 

From the pictures that I've seen, the HD ones are a bit larger and the edges are not as flush with the hatch. The ones I have are about the side of a quarter.

 

 

Sounds good to me! lol

 

How many people have bought this from this guy on ebay?

 

i need my rear wiper for the rain i love it

 

Me and JZurita are the only ones so far that have posted. I would like to see some more pics of other people with them.

 

i have the one from that ebay guy also. he ships fast, I haven't installed it yet though. too lazy in this cold.

 

I'm going to be next!

 

Rear wiper removal = unsafe and uncool!! FTL

 

FYI ....Volvo was the first automobile manufacturer in the world to offer rear windshield wipers. The reason being Volve designers(women) found out raindrops and snow also land on the rear window.

 

How much weight does this take off?

 

I use my rear wiper as well, but never use the windshield washer fluid. Actually, when I try to use it, the wiper wipes as it should for a few passes, but no liquid comes out, so either my spray valve at the top of the windshield is clogged, or the tubing isn't working right.... or the motor is bad, who knows. I have this fear the washer fluid is leaking somewhere in the plumbing that leads to the nozzle. What I would like to do is remove the tubing that leads to the rear nozzle and plug it at the pump. Anyone have experience with that? The hole where the nozzle is would actually make a good spot for a GPS or XM radio antenna, once the nozzle was removed.

I like my rear wiper! To only save 5lbs. its not worth the hassel but i must say if you want the clean look w/o wiper is the way to go.

 

I'll be shaving the rear wiper's hole permanently.

 

Changed my mind.. going with a CF hood

 

I've really come to appreciate the rear wiper after having this car. I dont know how I ever got along without it, I always wished I had one on my previous car. When you get in your car after its been sitting and its raining out or drizzling, theres absolutely no way to see through the back window.

 

I just did, but it's not here yet. I'll report how the colormatch and quality is on my Silver Alloy.

EDIT: And just put some sealant meant for paint on the rear window, no problems then.
