Just gives a cleaner look without it. Most people rarely use it anyways.

hey, my wiper is sideways... if that has any difference... lemme see if i can find a picture...

you're definitley going to want to disconnect it after that... for any accidents... don't need it trying to whack your spoiler off...

i think it has a much cleaner look to it like that... sideways that is... plus you dont have the possibility of a leaking hatch... but to each their own...

cant even se mine

So i take it, that your rear wiper doesnt work in that position?? or did you disassemble and reverse gears or polarity or something to swing right rather than left???

That is weird. I've never seen a Z wiper sit sideways like that. Seen it for other vehicles though. Kristi where did you get the plug/paint matched?

i suspect you can flip the plug to get the wiper to swing the other way... i just havent done it... i need to though... maybe i'll do it tomorrow...

the thing about electric motors... and i found this out from disassembling my remot control cars after they broke... is if you reverse the polarity... the motor turns the other direction... so i'll try it out and let you guys know...

i'll even do a instructional with pictures...

yup, Dave was the first person that showed this to our group one day... the little black cap near the actuator pops off to expose a 10MM bolt... unbolt that and the whole arm pops off... with a little tugging of course... then just line it up... set it back down and bolt it back down...

The thing that bothers me about removing the wiper is the plug. It's like buying a base model car and you know there are supposed to be switches and buttons there but they just have the faux buttons or plugs. Anyhoozle, morning wiper'd and wiper-less crew. Lets get this party started. Co worker sent me this...

WHY YOU NEVER QUESTION A DRUNK

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:
A half-gallon of 2% milk,
A carton of eggs,
A quart of orange juice,
A head of romaine lettuce,
A 2 lb. can of coffee, and
A 1 lb. package of bacon.
As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk
standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the
cashier.

While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly
stated,
"You must be single."

I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was intrigued by the
derelict's intuition, since I was indeed single. I looked at the six
items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my selections
that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of me, I said: "Well, you know what,
you're absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?" ....

The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."

No, YOU would've forced him to autox and then after you beat him, make fun of him. "Who's ugly now?!"
