Default Removed my Rear Wiper

Got the idea a while back and after seeing this post: LINK I finally removed it. Such a crappy day I just took a quick pic from the garage.

man, dunno why people do this (nothing personal to OP, directly ). functionality over clean look, if you ask me. what would you do when the window fogs up in a cold morning? defroster takes a looong time.. and not to mention rain.. rainx can only go so far...
