Rear Wiper Delete...
#21
Thanks DMA 808.
To Occam's question, most do it for aesthetic reasons but in my case I'm considering doing it to reduce uneccessary weight. A rear wiper is nice to have but much like other niceties like headlight washers, it's not exactly necessary. The spare tire, jack, etc. is going to be replaced by a bottle of slime and a small air pump.

I was thinking of flipping it upside down or modify it so that when you get tail gaters you can just spray em with some washer fluid

We remove the wipers and put back up cameras in them and the for squirter pull the spout off of the little rubber nipple it points straight out and will reach a good 6+ feet right out the back. Also if you don't use your wiper on the back it will eventually rub a mark in the glass that's hard to get off.

Also removing the nipple and shooting that hose straight back is a brilliant yet likely way to get yourself in the streets of Los Angeles..

Also like to add that rain-x(ing) your windows is a great way to reduce water build up on the windows.. I do it to the production trucks my company owns and it helps out the drivers a lot.

Which backup cameras are yall using? DIY would be nice. The rear wiper does seem to work if its nasty out and you window is dirty but I guess it will go cause it looks better without. I think I am going to do a multi step paint to try and match factory color really close.
