Do you drive a lot in the rain? In traffic or tight maneuvering where you need it?

I don't so it's gone.

www.bumperplugs.com if you haven't seen it yet.

no rain, no wiper
Turbo stays in the garage if it's raining. Removing the wiper enhances the look of the car. I would ditch the wiper. Take a risk, live on the edge. The rain slides right off at speed. jaj

I don't think it looks that bad so I would leave it on.

Just ordered the plug from bumperplugs last week. Remove the wiper, gives the car a cleaner look IMO.

Remove it...............if the rain collects on your rear window you are not driving fast enough and should exchange the Porsche for a minivan.

I took mine off and used plug from bumperplugs. Its really easy to do and makes the lines flow much better imo. The wiper seems to throw off the look...it doesnt seem to belong there.
