Rear window wiper

[Hercules Q. Einstein]

My FTO is armed for a rear window wiper.
Got the stalk control, wiring loom to boot, hole in back shelf etc.

Problem is that the (apparantly) replacement rear windscreen doesn't
have a hole for the wiper.

Can a hole be made or am I missing something and there shouldn't even be a hole in the rear windscreen?

as far as I'm aware there are two different rear-wndows - one with a little half-moon to accodate the wiper and one without it..

If you have the wrong one on - you will need to change the whole thing..
To be honest - I wouldn't bother..

I have a rear wiper - but I rarely use it..and it bugs me when I wash the car..

[Myfeckin FTO]

An FTO has a cleaner look to the rear without the rear wiper. I wouldn't bother either.

Not having a rear wiper cost me 300+ Euro when I reversed into my neighbours car a while back........just out of bed - rear window covered in rain and dew............Can't leave the house now without checking all around me and wiping off the window..............rear wiper is something I'd like now

Eek - that's some hard luck right there matey. I suppose if you don't have your own drive and/or time to let the window heat work it's magic it might be beneficial to have the rear wiper..

Unless you can find a rear window (try rory) and the rest of the bits for cheap it's gonna cost..

Alternatively swap cars with somebody who has one..

What spec you have?

i'm cleaning my rear window allmoust every morning - thats what i get for not having a wiper (or enough space to put her in the garrage) - i miss my old place where i had the underground parking - gates - and cctv(at least that was written on the wall )
