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....

A rear wiper would be nice to have on my car every now and then, but in my opinion, Tibs look alot better with no wiper in the back.

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....

Do you have a third brake light in your car now? If so do you want to sell it since you will be adding the spoiler and wiper?
