Anyone else notice just how useless the rear windshield wiper is. That little half circle it clears is so pointless lol and if you have a spoiler it gets even better cause then a drop barely hits your window. Maybe one day if I have to travel in a hurricane or something I might need it. Just want to share thanks

yes, it does seem pointless. I shaved mine the other day, looks much better now.

super cheap mod....
Metal hole plug size 1 3/8" at Lowe's. Found it in the specialty drawers where they have bolts n stuff.
Painted it black.
Once you remove the rear wiper and motor, the plug just fits rights in. It has small metal tabs on the back of it. You just bend those tabs out and seal the edges with silicone.

Hmmm I like having the wiper. Here in Portland it rains like 12 months out of the year, so I actually use it quite a bit. I like having a clear rear window as much as possible.

Would have been cool to have two wipers back there. Shaved looks good and I have a spoiler so hope I won't need the wiper much.

I removed it 2 months ago and haven't looked back. Only time I wish it was still on there is when I don't wash my car for too long and it rains, because it seems the fine mist from the road sticks to road dust and makes the window way more dirty than just water would.

Removing features is great for resale value! Hahahaha!
Hope you find another kook with similar issues to sell to. Bet you took out the third seatbelt too!

You sure are full of negative opinions. I keep all stock parts, little to your knowledge. If you want, I can take a picture of all the parts to put it back together (as well as my fully in-tact rear 3rd seatbelt) if you really want to get into it. :loser:
