mine sags for some reaon and wont seem to stay up so i'm thinking about removing it to save weight...but i dont use mine much anyways and thought it might look a little cleaner without it. i've heard of people doing this before somewhere. isnt there some kind of plug to cover the hole? help is appreciated

 

did it to my rex but hb would be just as easy. take a small piece of steel, or aluminum slightly bigger than the hole, totally cover one side with jb weld, pour it on thick, slap some duck tape on the other side to hold it onto the hole, bam. Let it dry, instant filler, then just sand it down.

 

I welded it shut

 

For the person who MAY want to reinstall the unit-there is indeed a rubber plug available-it is the size of a large Zeibart plug (3/4") or UHF radio antenna. Doesn't look great-but definitely a cheap solution.

 

here's what mine looks like...

 

i used a rubber plug from ace, works great

 

nice!

 

hey i have a 93 hatch and i put the rear wiper on it. but if you want to take it out you can use the civic cx 3dr rear cover that comes from factory to close the hole where the whiper was... good luck...

 

Im wiperless it was an Si, like dustin said, weld it shut.

 

took mine off too, welded shut and sanded smooth as well,

 

same here welded and sanded

 

shave that bitch

 

heres a recent *** shot...

 

heres one of my hatch from the back without it's wiper, i'm posting a lot right now my car got broken into about an hour ago, two broken windows, missing cd player, and missing cds.

 

mine didnt even come with a wiper!!
hmm.. maybe its becuz its a CX model..

 

if you'd rather just FIX the wiper..you need to take off the one 10mm nut holding the arm on..move it one notch up. it'll look like it's too high, but in a day it will settle down to the right height.

 

does anyone want to sell me there rear wiper?as long as it's comlete with grets and nuts and all.let me know.

 

I just put a new wiper arm on mine 4 days ago, I got sick of having a little stub tail. I never thought of taking it out and closing it up like you guys. The idea of having a cap to fill in the whole sounded ugly to me.

 

im in canada but if you want to pay shipping 30 bucks cdn is good so like 15 US.

motor all bolts wiper arm . wires etc.

 

i need a hatch wiper arm maybe is hould have specified.sorry.

 

I have one off of my 88 CRX Si...everything you need(the windshield wiper blade probably ought to be replaced, but it works pretty decently). I actually took a video of it last week before I took it off and plan on putting it on eBay next week...let me know if anybody is interested.

 

WeRd Yo! YoU cAn gAin a FuLL sEcOnd in ThE 1/4 fRom RemOvIng YouR HeAVy Rear WiPEr!

 

Mmmm the shaved look is as nice as i thought it would look. looks like welded is the way to go. thanks for the help everyone

 

Weld that Sh*t off... NOW!! I removed it from my hatch, but I went the cheap way and put a backing on the hole and used some filler... and now it's cracked. Still looks a lot better than with the arm on, though.

 

does anyone have a rear wiper off a civic they want to sell?
