Rear wiper delete...finally!
Had a custom plug machined and painted black. I definitely think it looks way better without the rear wiper.

I for one always thought that the rear wiper looked cool. Nonetheless, that's a clean solution.

Buy a convertible and you wont have to worry about the rear wiper.

Looks good. As a non original owner, I'm glad the rear wiper option was not chosen.

I made sure my car did not have a rear wiper - didn;t like it. You have come up with a great solution though! Looks clean!

Close to 100lbs and likely gained 25hp.

I can weigh everything if you like but it's not really that heavy...

Thanks! I couldn't pass on a 09 with PCCBs and almost all of my must have's because of the rear wiper. The rear wiper bugged me up until now...it's not perfect but close enough.

Was rear wiper an option or was "the delete" an option? I dont remember seeing it listed on the build sheet for my car (which has no wiper)
