Exclamation DIY Tech: Rear Wiper, Removal (Scion xB 04-06)

*Disclaimer: any modifications, errors, or mishaps are the responsibility of the User.














I know that there are previous threads on this Subject. I did a Search and did not find any pics Posted.

I am a Strong Believer that 'A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words".

I Hope this Helps.

MR LUV

*Added Tip:

If you wished, there are some people Opting to put a Rear View Camera in the Wiper Hole.
I think it will fit neatly and you have the Disconnected wiper motor plug as a 12v source right there.
There was a full Rear View Camera Kit at Costco On Special for $79.95 not too long ago.

I'm Sorry.
But, the LUV MOBILE is a Secret Project Car UNDER CONSTRUCTION
and I am not at liberty to show additional pics, especially Profile shots.
Waiting for Rims, Tires, Suspension, Intake, Header, Exhaust
and a bunch of other mods. It will take a while. But, it will be Unveiled
and Announced here on SL sometime in the future.

If you want an idea on how the Wing looks, it looks a lot like the
bBist "Type I" Carbon Fiber Spoiler.

No. There used to be a former Sponsor here called KEYTECHNIQUES
He made Color Matched Wiper Plugs for the xB, xB2, and iQ.

I THINK he still sells them HERE

I had my 06' TCM xB for 9 years and Traded it in for my current LUV MOBILE.

removed my wiper today and was super easy...and found the 1" plug at the big box store.

The 1" plug didn't just slide in for me. felt too big (i doubled checked i got the 1" size, and yes) so i had to push down some of those rivets that go around the perimeter.

also removed my badge at the same time but i couldn't get all of that sticky adhesive off yet...
