DIY Tech: Rear Wiper, Removal (Scion xB 04-06)
The Rear Wiper is superfluous and unnecessary. I threw my perfectly New Wiper Assembly and Motor Assembly away 10 years ago. Drove 9 years in all kinds of weather w/o one. If you want to fiddle with that PITA, you are Welcome. (See Below) IMHO, you are a lot better off just DELETING it. Time to Re-Visit my SL article from 2008: ►►Tech: Rear Wiper, Removal (Scion xB 04-06)◄◄ |
Some of the headaches in dealing with the Rear Wiper:
From 2008: Scion xB rear wiper Darkcrush: "blade is held into place by a plastic arm that has two nubs which hold it onto the wiper arm. That small plastic piece is broken, was told I have to purchase the entire arm assembly which is at a retail price of $60 plus dollars" From 2010: rear wiper blade stolen...replacement? eE: "unfortunately you have to transfer two little metal strips from the existing to the new blade" From 2012: DIY: Gen1 xB Rear Wiper Arm Conversion to Standard Blades sammydad1:"Wait til your wiper arm cracks off a couple of the insert support tangs. $75 +/- for a new arm from scion" From 2013: Another rear wiper refill question sgf: "I ordered online some refills before but learned too late that they did not include the metal or plastic rib" Do a SEARCH, there is A LOT more... |
