Rear wiper deleted - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

porbund · 06-12-2008, 02:57 PM

I pulled my rear wiper and motor off yesterday. It looks cleaner, especially since my old wiper arm was a POS. I am not sure how I like it yet, especially since my defrost does not work. I am kinda getting phantom wiper syndrome, like I miss its crappiness. How many others have done this, how do you like it, and do you have some pics?

One of the first thing I did to the car.

I did it, it looks much cleaner(and mine worked, I just never used it and hated the look)

Dont have any close ups, but its MUCH cleaner

What do you guys use to fill the hole? Did you remove the fluid bottle as well?

I pulled mine off to paint the trim and I didn't get around to painting it for a while. I missed it. I didn't realize how much I used it until I had it off so I put it back on.

thanks for the reassuring pics, everyone, I'll keep the motor handy in case I ever decide to put the wiper back on. I believe I used a Chrysler master cylinder gasket or cover (something like that) with silicone sealant. It was a very snug fit, but the silicone acted like a lubricant so I could get it in. I like the pics, let's keep them coming!

I hardly used my rear wiper because the rubber blade was missing. Just enough rubber on it to clean crap off the window.

I want to remove mine, but can't find anything to plug the hole...i still need to plug the three holes from the spoiler piece I removed...

Did it on mine and I love it without. It looks so much cleaner. I also intend to get rid of the motor as well.
