Thanks! yeah, i totally didn't even thought about pushing it down? It's o.k. the rubber grommet should be pretty cheap, if I ever need to put it back to factory. The good thing is that I didn't break the arm that stick out of the motor, I saw it on another post that he actually broke the arm off the motor
The only things sucks is that it is very hard to find that faucet cover again, I've been looking for it for the longest time. I need to stop by more Home Depot to check it out. the part number is 395-640. It supposed to rain within the next few days, so I could really test it out, make sure there are no leak.

That looks awesome! I never cared for the rear wiper and never really use it. I think that it makes the lines of the car flow alot better. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the G35's don't come with a rear wiper. I'm really going to consider doing this mod. Thanks for all the info, job well done.

Default Rear wiper gone

I guess great minds think alike! I used a 7/8 hole cover also from home depo had it pro painted installed it in the hole. I bent the flanges out to make it permanent.
I weather sealed it with black windshield caulk. Then I removed the little fluid spout and did the same as the wiper!

I did a write up on this if you want to search for more info....
Old thread I know but it proves I searched first HA!..

I thought that after I removed the nut, that all ya had to do was to wiggle the arm a bit and lift straight up.

Looks like the thing unscrews????

Thought for sure it would use that nut and splines.
