Question Rear Window Wiper....?

I've just been reading through a lot of these threads, and from what I'm seeing, I was just curious as to if the tC2's in the US come with the rear window wiper? I know I've got it on mine, and it bugs the hell out of me

I feel like it's unnecessary. I dunno, that's just my opinion. I wanna take it out and plug the hole on the trunk where it used to be

I like it! Plus it's hidden off to the side when you are driving so you don't see a line all the time.

It's so weird..the little differences between each country's models of cars lol. I'm not sure how I'd feel about that part. It'd be cool, but at the same time, it's one more part that can break. I have friends with xBs who've removed their rear wipers and plugged the holes with clean looking plugs and havent had any issues or misse the wipers at all

There have been times where a rear-wiper would have helped me personally with visibility, so I actually see it as a benefit. I think it's one of those things where you don't realize how useful it is until you no longer have it.

I think it should either come as an option or equipped on the tC2 in the US. I live in the Northeast region and when it rain or snow, there's a lot so there has come times
where I say to myself that it would be nice to have a rear window wiper for me to see while I'm backing up into parking spots and driving. That my opinion lol.

Hey I was just wondering if you ever went through and removed the rear wiper. I'm from Canada; and sadly my car came with the rear wiper. I hate it.
Debating to plug it.... Or get it filled and painted....

Lol. I'm glad the RS didn't come with one. It can be useful at times but I'd prefer it not be standard. Had it on my GSR and when it snowed I'd always hit the rear spray nozzle when cleaning the snow or ice off. The last time I hit it hard enough and some how the line that feeds the fluid for the nozzle broke or cracked and eventually the roof liner started to get wet. I use x rain solution and the snow, ice & rain just slides off.
