Anyone changed out there rear glass to the wiper less glass? Can you share some info? Did it replace the whole trunk to get rid of the motor on the inside? Anyone have some pics of theirs?

Before you flame asking why I want this...I just do..... Yes I'm a JDM ***** plus weight reduction without all that **** and the motor is good too....

 

do a search on rear wiper removal. much easier than replacing the glass.

 

sweet I searched but didn't find much...I'll try it again.....

 

that motor n wiper is less than 5lbs.

Ryan, who removed his wiper and motor as well

 

Apparently you have no idea how much the rear hatch glass is.
Just remove the wiper.

if your looking for the glass I know passwordjdm.com sells it they could probably tell you more better info on it.

 

JDM's don't even have rear wipers...the trunk is geared to take one though, so you won't need to replace anything...just get the plastic cap that covers the hole for the wiper arm

 

yea 12.00 shipped off ebay. i have one for my 91 teg. doesnt leak or anything.

Plus it will be lighter than the JDM glass because the plastic-plugged-hole will weigh less than if glass was in it's place.

If your doing it for whoreness, then I guess go ahead and get the real deal.

If your truly doing it for hardcore weight savings, you could try the FAL glass.

 

if you really want to replace it get the glass for a 97 type r its wiper less or jdm type r race spec it won't have the brake lights either.

 

I yanked the grommet out of the firewall near the battery.

It's thinner than the hard plastic cap so it doesn't stick out as much.

Needs a little bit of glue though, but looks clean

 

can you take a picture of where the plug is by the battery, glanced fast and couldnt find it, thanks in advance

 

I heard someone said the JDM ITR rear hatch glass (race version) is thinner than the USDM one, but I am not sure about it.

JDM glass are not "Tempered" like the US glass. That is why JDM glass is lighter than the US ones.

 

Screw glass, what about Lexan? Does anyone make a direct fit replacement for the rear?

And as such is not DOT legal.

 

No I have no idea how much it cost but then again I dont care. If I was going to be cheap I won't be in this sport. I dont think I wanna do the removale. I might for now but I'm getting the wiper less and brake light less glass. Is there a diffrence from the 97 to 00 glass? I have a few friends in Japan (military) that will get me anything so I'll be looking for one shortly. DOT? hahahaha whats that?

 

Would the JDM hatches shatter dangerously because they're not tempered?

Look behind the battery in the lower right hand corner. It's hidden so you won't see it if you, "glance fast." Look again. I did the same thing with my rear wiper. Add some tire shine and it looks good as new.

Most likely because its only required here in the states. Is the JDM glass thinner? I heard they have a brownish tint to them too.

 

jdm glass are dot.
my friends rhd teg came with dot glass
from japan. dot marks are on every glass.
jdm might not require tempered glass but
honda is cheap they make one glass for all market

 

jdm blingers again

 

hell yeah...did someone say JDM BLING BLING.....
