What would impress me, would be to have a flap cut in the hatch that could be engineered to have the wiper hidden during normal use, and pop up when it rains. I have thought of this as a mod but am too afraid to go cutting my hatch.
If I come across a wrecked Z I would get the hatch and experiment, IMHO that would give the best of both worlds. Anyone out there brave enough and inclined enough to try???

BTW this could be a killer mod if done right. A panel about 24 inches across and 3-4 inches wide cut into the hatch could house the wiper blade assembly (blade and motor) . This would need to attached in an upside down position (so that it would be upright when the panel flips up). Servos could be used to move the panel up & down. There should be enough room inside ( between the hatch and the plastic liner). The more I think about it......

Don't worry, it will come. He is very willing to please and a good seller. My experience with him was great and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Just be patient and send a quick PM to DriftMyRide.

I guess age has a lot to do with it! I L-O-V-E my rear wiper--it rains a lot in
Puerto Rico, we even have a Rain Forest. I'm 59, and my stock '04 Touring
Coupe is FINE as is, as far as I'm concerned.

so as opposed to having a wiper on your hatch, you would rather have a cut out panel right in the middle of the hatch because i feel those 1/8-1/4 inch gaps would look horrible compared to a wiper.
