i saw a picture of a 96-97 jdm accord with a rear windshield wiper.. was this an option over there and is it possible to do to the us accord?






Please ignore where the arrows are pointing, those are for the rear window visor

 

Don't quote me, but I believe it was the european model.. I'm 100% positive this has been covered though..

Ugly as hell though, imo.

 

its a JDM accord right there.. you can see the japense writing in the background

i found that, but that one has a huge wiper.. it appears the one in the picture i posted is smaller, but it could just be a deception. I wouldn't mind a smaller wiper for the rear, i hate not being able to see out the back when it rains

 

Those look about the same.. But yea.. Try rain x? Idk. I bet it was some thing they found in one of their pep boys or something, just a do it yourself thing.. idk.. i don't like it.

 

I see, i think though the window in the back was changed.. i can't really tell.

 

Yes, it does appear the 5th gen Accord came with rear window wipers in some countries. I've seen identical-looking wipers on many foreign Accords. Here's a shot of two Accords (with full Mugen kits) from Thailand that have the same rear wiper:

 

does anyone know if you need a new rear window or just the parts? and how its controlled?

Yes, you would need a new rear window assuming that you can get the window from overseas. Then you need all the mechanics for the wiper including the wiper itself and then you'd probably need a new stalk assuming that there was a seperate switch for the rear wiper.

 

im willing to bet the rear window sill is different as well on the interior

I would bet it is too. Since it probably requires new glass theres no way i'd do it. I mean it probably wouldn't even be worth all the work. I don't even like how it looks, i just like keeping the water off the rear windshield.

Are those rear sun visor things just for looks?

 

Those red lights on the bumper... extra brake light? &gt;_&gt;

I just noticed that the 91+ Accords dont have rear windsheild wipers... is it possible to install one on a USDM model?? =/

Those lights are fog lights..... just more precaution in the case someone only sees your light when you hit the brakes, that is common south area of my country (where 2/3 of the year is cool weather)....

 

I didn't know there was a Mugen spoiler made for the 96-97. They aren't the same as the 94-95 because the 94-95 doesn't fit my car

 

WHY are Euro cars better"equipped?"

because they pay import tax, have fog and rain every other days? maybe?


it's cool to see a picture of a euro spec accord becasuse you don't see it everyday, if honda put wiper or rear fog light on every accord, people will start shaveing it to make it look "clean" or "jdm"

you can't please everyone, i rather blackmail honda to bring the type R over than put on useless rear wiper.
