Finally got around to removing my rear wiper, after seeing how clean it looked without itand I never used it anyway. I had to special order the parts, the plug and bolt, from the local Honda dealer and payed $23 I believe. A Few days later I picked up the parts and got busy. After realizing I needed to remove the large plastic trim piece in the rear hatch, and not the small one which I ended up busting one of the fastners while trying to remove, the install was a breeze. I took a bunch of pictures incase someone was thinking about doing the same thing. Enjoy, Ryan




Heres the wiper motor and bracket removed

Some washers I picked up at Lowes for $.83

Nice and clean I have yet to use mine either....

 

Now ... about that rear wiper squirter on the roof!

 

lol, you beat me to it.

 

i really need to make that an anti-tailgate device. "GET OFF MY ***, STUNNA!" <squirt>

 

I think this was before HT's time over at HA, but there was one guy who made this out of some surgical tubing and ball pump needle. Even had pix of the install along w/ the thing squirting - LOL!

yshi - who wonders if anyone else remembers *shrugs*

 

*raises hand* I DO I DO

 

how much is a 97 type r rear window?
didn't that car not have the rear wiper (as it came stock)
would probably look even cleaner IMO

nice R btw

 

The rear window woud be at least 500, IMO. I like this idea though.

Chris, who wrote down the part numbers....

ps. How long did it take you?

 

retail is over a grand...i asked

 

I'm going to finally do this. I can't stand how the rear wiper metal arm is turning dull. I've seen older integras where the black paint is worn away.

 

mine never had a wiper

 

whats the wieght savings with that thing off?

 

Just get a '97 FAL hatchglass and save some more weight while you're at it.

 

Once I started it took about 30 minutes. The motor,bracket, and actual wiper arm weighed maybe 3-4 lbs. It was fun working on the car, though it was about 105 heat index while I was doing it, damn Virginia summers.

 

how much would this run. i would be interested in the future

 

Nice ITR. Might wanna blur your plate though.

 

Chris I was going to do this over the summer break as well. If you go the Acura dealer let me know, since I may want to get these as well. I hear it only takes about a half hour.

 

Isn't the rear wiper useful? It would be over here in Canada.......

 

Only useful in Vancouver where it rains half of the year.

I hear RainX or whatever it is called works really well to "slide" rain off of windows.

 

Will do, I'll up there on Monday picking up a couple of parts I have on order. I might inquire about the parts... if they don't have them, do you want me to have them stock a set for you too?

 

$799....and believe me , I know....

 

Just wait until you see the pics of when my car comes back from the body shop...

 

Arrived at the body shop on Friday...

Somewhere around $350...don't know the exact price, as I purchased it at wholesale.

 

Kinda hard to see from the pic, are the part numbers...

90301-sb3-000 and 90156-sh3-000 ? Thanks.
