ok this weekend im planing on converting my non-rear wiper and non-rear spoiler to a rear wiper rear spoiler hatch. obviously i know there are differences, but i want to make sure ive got everything right. i have a whole car with rear wiper and spoiler so i think i can just change hatch and switch in the dash. i remember seeing extra plugs when i did the dash kit, and when seeing about putting on a spoiler looking under the plastic. so am i correct?
take off the cover on the hatch that has the wiper and spoiler and u can see the spoiler bolts and wiper motor, etc. I took my wiper blade off and wire wheeled the litte rust it had off and repainted it, while i was doin it i figured id take the cover off for fun. uhh ud probly have to run the wate rline to the rear sprayer nozzel too idk how hard that is.

Have fun with that washer fluid line... I thought mine blew up this year (Chicago, wasn't driving the tib so I forgot to put in winter washer fluid). The hose goes through the fender and I don't know where after that, so good luck....

man my odds are looking less an less good. lol. so another problem should i leave the hatch and sunroof red, or should i primer while on my yellow car. im getting all the paint ready so 2 weeks from now it will all be primer or roughed so it can go back yellow when i foind some better paint codes
You'll do a lot better job of hiding the red if you primer the hatch before you put it on the car.
You definitely need a washer fluid resevoir with the 2 pumps on it. I had a rear wiper and nozzle, and removed them, but had to get a new hatch, so I have 2 rear wiper assemblies WITH the motors....
