You need the jdm wiper motor that is specific to that spoiler. The spper sits about 1/4 inch lower which allows for clearemce. Just using the DA wiper arm wl not clear.

You can also use the Canadian SE wiper. I remember seeing a post about it recently.

i got my spoiler and integra arm to work. my spoiler is not lined up 100% correct, it is about 1/2in back. looks okay from a distance, but at least my rear wiper works. i will adjust it and make it flush if i can ever find a jdm wiper motor.

yes the canadian SE model crx has the same wiper motor as a jdm crx, but ONLY if it had a spoiler, otherwise it would be the same as ours. i called a Canadian dealership a while back and they said there was only a "SE" model in 91 and the only difference according to guy was the spoiler.

i only put nuts on 3 bolts because i didnt know there was bolts under the plastic pieces that were on it. i only picked up three. on my 88 i ran into a issue of a plate covering the passenger side where the bolts came in on the trunk lid so i couldnt get one of the nuts on that side. i am gonna pick up 2 extra 10mm nuts and try to find a way to put them on. it is pretty secure with just the 3 nuts.

it didnt match up completely flush because it is back 1/2in so the wiper would clear.
