Title: Removing the back wiper..
Post by: Retro_Boy_G on September 17, 2008, 11:31:00 AM
I dunno about you guys but sometimes i feel the back wiper kinda spoilers the look at the rear of my FC.. Has anyone ever removed theres? Do you know if it is an easy process? I don\'t ever drive her in the rain either.. so i don\'t see much point of keeping it on.. What are your thoughts on doing this?

i dont really use the back wiper as i dont reverse that much lol
not hard to do.. just a few nuts n screws but u need to find a plug n seal the hole where the wiper came out of.

worth putting a coat of \'Rain-X\' or similar on as this repells water. i use for all glass n works very well, seldom use wipers =)

Ps good to see u gettin very into ur fc =) so much fun!!
