Hey guys I like the rear wipers found on the latest Cayenne and I was wondering if the cayenne wipers will fit on our z wiper mount?

Don't ask me why I wanna do this please. I just like the look of the Porche wipers.

thx.

That's why you do the wiper delete
Yes I drive through rain, but whenever I drive on the highway, even in heavy rain, for some reason my side windows and rear window are always dry.
Rain-X ftw

I second silverstone and have performed same to my hatch (w/
similar plug). I think the porsche wiper is too short for the inteded
application also.

I'm afraid you are correct. However I will give it a try and test it out. I never use my rear wiper anyway. It will be just for looks.

Da K00l Aid Man

changing a wiper that you don't use anyway for looks ? lol

It won't work, totally different mounting mechanism. Just do the wiper delete

Lgear080 do you have the type of plug you used and/or tips to remove the rear wiper blade. I will look at it today to see how easy/hard it might be. I think it looks clean with it off.

I used a 1" plastic hole plugs from Lowes, but I had to trim it a lot, so I'm guessing the 3/4" will work better.

I then used a very thin, continuous layer of silicon sealant all around the tiny lip of the plug. I pressed it down and made sure it was completely in, and then I wiped all around it with a shop towel with rubbing alcohol on it to clean away any excess sealant. Then, I just let it sit for a day and voila.

I used the ebay flat plugs. Its got a plug for the wiper arm and one for
the spray nozzle on top of the rearview glass. I bought it for about $16+ Shippped,
supposedly painted redline. Quality was meh so I repainted both parts
with varying success. The hatch plug is 100% pefect, but the wiper plug
doesn't seem to like paint, and has some light rusting. I have sanded, painted
and primed to no avail. The spray plug also does not like to stay put and
is difficult to tighten - it has a nut and washer assembly to keep it in place.
We used hot glue to seal the hatch plug and prevent water intrusion, but the
glue won't fly on my glass. Just did an ebay search and could not find one plug
set! wtf.

Wiper blade removal should have a DIY around here somewhere. Takes about
twenty minutes.... Try to search for same. Not terribly difficult.

Im thinking about removing my rear wiper. When you actually notice it, you realize how big and ugly it is.

there is a thread here all about the delete of the wiper. i do not have a good pic of mine currently but for about $3 you can get a sink plug at HD or Lowe's and paint to match.

+1 on rain-x or even just the wax you use on the car. i hardly use my front wipers even in FL with the storms we have here. 25+ and it just runs off

^^ The Home Depot/Lowes method is a lot cheaper and you can buy it and install it in like 30 minutes.

And it gets in the way when you wash the car.
