Ive seen a few people on here without rear wipers, and it looks real clean. I have a 2001, anyone know of a good way to get started in removing the wiper?

 

Pull the wiper off and the boot. Take out the motor inside the hatch. Then fix the the remaining hole and get everything flush and smooth, then paint. Its not too hard smile.gif

 

mine came without it so im happy about that. i think it was an option in 01 because mine doesnt have it. the above post is exactly what youll need to do.

 

Hey your in NY I will swap my no rear wiper hatch for your wiper hatch mine is silver too.

 

Mine doesn't have one and I'm happy with it that way... never have an issue with the rain back there.

 

The rain isn't a problem for me either. It's the half inch of snow that falls on it when i'm stopped at a red light that gets to me. tongue.gif
Yay for Canada.

 

cheese - thanks, i would consider... if it was an RD2

and everyone else, thanks for the tips, i guess ill work on figuring out how to get rid of that whole, and i suppose just cleaning it up with paint will be the hardest parts.

 

This is my first car with a rear window wiper, I wouldn't buy another one without it. I LOVE having that thing back there.

 

haha, thats exactly why im keeping mine too.


And I don't think it looks all that bad anyways, I just keep a small wiper blade on there.

 

Arent hatch's exactly the same?
