Wow, I find all cars with a rear wiper VERY functional. For getting rid of freezing rain, normal rain, fog, dew, condensation, snow flakes, snow after sitting outside, etc.

Why on earth would people want to get rid of something useful. I would rather take the radio out and have no music than not have the rear wiper. Same way in splash guards, they have a purpose.

I mean, its kind of like all the kids who swap a motor, and then take out the AC, and Heat, and then can't even drive in cold months because no defrost, heat etc. Dumb to me.

Well, like I said, height is a consideration. Throw a couple of telephone books on your driver seat. Re-adjust your rear view mirror and you will see what I mean.

I think it's simple enough just wanted to make sure I cover all grounds.
No one has had any issues with leaks? Silicone holding it's own?

The panels were a B**ch, but after you pop them out everything is easy. I live in Houston and doesnt ran that much Im just using the plug no silicone. So far so good! It makes the back so flow so much better!
