Rapture · 06-27-2002, 01:27 PM

it comes on JDM 4th gen ludes. You can pick up kits or find it on ebay everyonce and a while.

hows it done? got pics?

WRONG WRONG AND WRONG

There is no rear wiper "kit"
the rear wiper only came on JDM models and it involved a switch, motor wiper and a diff rear window.

in order to do this on a USDM you would have to custom mount the motor and bracket as well as drill a hole in the rear window. Drilling that hole in glass is extreemly hard to do without cracking the glass... good luck dude

I'll sell you the kit needed..........

I was goin to sell the rear window as well, but broke it ryin to get it out....

$100 all in....

+ postage to USA from here......

Rear wiper also comes as standard on UK models - probably due to the amount of rain we get

I think most cars look much cleaner w/o the rear wiper.
And yes, it's built into the glass which means I can't remove it cleanly

I have a rear window with a wiper, motor and switch for sale.. PM me or get me on aim (slidwys) if you want it

Riptide101 · 06-27-2002, 07:16 PM

I have everything needed including the window. I've out the window on but have not wired it up yet. I talked to U.K. VTEC about looking in his manual for the wiring but he said it has no info on it. There is no info in the aussie manual also. So I am a little stumped which sucks

Shipping the window seems like a PITA

marshdoggg · 06-27-2002, 09:25 PM

why would you want a rear wiper? they look like ass and destroy the line of the car!! this JDM this is outta hand now...

i want one for the pure fact that it would seperate me from 99.9% of ludes in the US/;

Riptide101 · 06-27-2002, 10:19 PM

Thats the reason why I got it. Its hard to be unique since our cars have been out for some time know. Lets see another WWRS kit.

although i agree with the reasoning, this is not the way to go. You wanna make your car look worse just so its different?? c'mon now, i know this is not true, find somewhere else to dump the 150 bucks.

its functional obviously. like here in vancouver it rains most of the year. when your parked and u wanna back out and its raining, the rear wiper comes in handy so u can see the rear clearly right away.

Brady92/4WS · 06-29-2002, 02:25 AM

Well i guess i can just say since i live in wisconsin i need it or something, but really im a jdm whore
