it's never been done before. my wild guess is u might have to go to a junkyard and get a motor and the arm from a car/truck that has a rear windshield. good luck..

All the Evom vets are gonna tell you to use the "SEARCH" enginge lol. but ur very new (2posts) so Welcome 2 evoM n Goodluck w/ that!

he's not that new, look in his sig. Aug. 2004, DO A SEARCH. ok now that i got that outta my system, i dunno if even a search will turn this one up. why would you wanna do this? you'd prob. save some money if you just waited for a rear window deflector to show up in ebay. that'll help keep dirt off the back window.

mouting would be the only issue. you'd have to work it into the trunk lid somehow, as the evo one comes through the glass and we have no hole in ours, or get an evo rear window

We're on the same page. I've been thinking...

Cut the sumb!tch with the glasscutter (Make a small hole) so you can use it as a mounting point. You can feed the wires though the small hole. My only cocern is the glass. Is it tempered? It could shatter.

I don't think cutting that glass would be a good idea since it is slightly curved. *shatter* then oooes nooooes.. you will be looking for a new window. heh.

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but did you ever make any progress on this? I am looking to do the same thing to my 03 OZ but havnt found much info. Id say try cuttong a hole amd if it doesnt work THEN get an evo window with a hole already in it to replace. But as far as the switch and motor assembly go i am curious if it would all just bolt in or is some modification needed for the interior too?
