GEEZ take your front ones off too while you at it better yet let trade cars my lancer doesn't have a rear wiper and i looks like an evo so if it's such an issue the just go ahead and do it but that is really dumb to remove it...

delete the rear wiper? You should leave it and be proud of your super sedan w/ rear wiper. Not a lot of cars have a rear wiper you know...

I love my rear wiper. Nothing more handy than having to back up first thing in the AM with dew still on the car and just hitting the wiper instead of having to drop the window and stick my head out.

The grass is always greener on the other side. Seriously though, I can't think of one time that the rear wiper would of came in handy for me. Besides too me it looks ugly and probably adds wind resistance. Not trying to **** anyone off just my 2c.

Where are you located?

This would be an easy swap if the two cars could be side by side!

I say let those that want it ,keep it and those that want to remove go ahead and remove it. I thought about removal as well but so far I have left mine in place.

To each his (or her) own is my opinion.

If soemone made a cap or some kind of attachment that could slip on where the blade assy. mounts then you could remove the arm put the cap on and then simply put the blade back when/if you wanted to use it. It's more appearance than anything and I realize you would lose the nominal weight savings by not removing motor/resoirvor this way but another thought.

In the end i will probably leave things as they are

if your worried about weight so much just take a BIG $hit before you get in your car.

if you're really worried about saving weight EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS..
and dont try and tell me it doesnt, because then you are just plain ignorant.

I don't know why you guys are getting in a discussion about weight savings.. if you want to get technical yes, every little bit counts but every little bit includes the idea that you are removing much more than just the wiper blades to make any noticeable difference. And most importantly to get back on topic he is not removing the wiper blades because of weight savings, I think he's made that very clear so why discuss it.. He's doing it purely for looks and even though we think the trouble may not be worth it.. To each their own. he feels the trouble and cost is worth for his eyes not seeing it.

I thought about taking mine off too just cause I don't need it... but people around here think having a rear wiper is super jdm sweet so I guess I'll leave it on. Afterall it matters what everyone else thinks not me

The easiest way to eliminate the rear wiper will be to sell the car and buy another
