Default Rear Wiper Removal

Does anybody know how to remove the rear wiper blade and motor for the xB? If so what do you replace it with besides a camera? Any help would be great.

Spend a little dough and shave that motha.....
Probably cost a couple hundred but it would look great.
I'm thinking about doing it when I get mine because I hear they are worthless.
I got the hook up with a body shop so I might shave everything......

It does work. If you are in rain alot, keep it. With the unique shape that the xB has it will suck the water to the back window and not blow it off at higher speeds.

Experience has shown that jamiertheman was right.......
But if you have subs in the back you will get the nastiest ratteling you can imagine from that rear wiper!

I live in New Orleans, which if you didn't know gets lots of rain (building a city on top of a swamp + being next to a river + being near a lake = lots of rain). My rear wiper sucked; it rattled when my bass hit, it made an obnoxious sound when I did decide to use it, and it looked like crap. I have since removed the wiper, plugged it by putting a bolt in the grommet that was there for the wiper, and wiped rain-ex on the window. I have absolutely no problems seeing out of it when it is wet outside.
