LOL - I'll be taking it out this weekend hopefully... (using method #1 as well)

 

I prefer method 2 since it looks cleaner but method one offers a more sturdy seal even though the difference is negliable.

 

i took the rear wiper off with the same material, but my question is why take out the 3rd brake light. just thought i'd ask. on the write up

I Agree
I used method #2, but yeah, why take out the 3rd brake light?

Sold!!

Thanks,

Just a word of advice. You don't need the seal 76707-ST7-000. When you take out the wiper you will notice that the seal is already there.

 

just my 2 cents, a guy on ebay sells these kits for like 14 shipped.. This is what i use, it sits very flush and seals good.. here's the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW

thought i would share..

p.s. oh and he ships out super quick..

 

I always use "method #2" but I try and use a touch of clear RTV on the inside to seal it up. And for those that don't know, the grommet for "method #2" is included with the car, it's at the lower right corner of the battery.

Cause we haven't allready done enough illegal **** to our cars allready , haha...i'm pretty sure 3rd brake lights are required in most states...if it's a track only car, right on, but otherwise i'd leave the light.

 

I still prefer the "stuff a wine cork into the hole... and take a sharpie to it" method.

I can't find a bottle of wine with a real cork for less than $2.98. The screw-top ones don't work.

Step 1: Get approx size of hole
Step 2: Go to junk yard
Step 3: Find one that fits. Ford Probe firewall has a grommet that fits perfect, lookds good and seals fine.

Should cost between $0 and $1.

I think I must be the only person in the history of Honda enthusiasts that actually loves my rear wiper. I've kept it on all the cars I've had, and wished I had on all the ones that didnt have it.

But screw the antenna! I will delete the external antenna forever!!!!!!

 

How much weight do u save by removing the wiper?

Mine is gone and the rear wiper follows...

 

Good info

&lt; Who likes the look of no wiper but likes having it back there when it's raining

It can't be much (8lbs maybe?) - but every little bit counts especially if you never use the thing...

I missed my rear wiper very rarely. Like once a month on mornings when the car was covered in water from rain/dew/etc.

However, now that my car is in a garage, I never use it.

A better comment would have been, Use Rain X.

 

haha nice. I got one from a guy off of team-integra for $12 and it is one of the simplest mods' once you get the wiper arm off. I never used the wiper so I jumped at the chance to swap it for the clean little black plug.

 

the reason to remove the third brake light is because the RS models didnt come standard with a factory spoiler. when the spoiler is put on as an option, the third brake light is not removed, and there is a row of LED's on the spoiler, making the third brake light redundant. ive just used method #2 (cheap) and its looking good.
