Read it carefully, there are links to other threads in there.. You'll find all the info you need...

 

how much weight is that?

 

It maybe saved a couple pounds at most. The motor and wiper arms weren't very heavy to begin with. I just didn't like that wiper in the way, especially since I've used it twice. Once accidentally and once when I forgot to bring my brush to brush off the snow.

 

Here are the new links to my pics of the wiper removal and final results.

To beat the topic to death...

I just removed my rear wiper + motor. The only parts you need for a "factory" job (i.e. using factory parts) are:

1. 90301-SR3-000 (Nut/Cap): $19.37
2. Fender washer 1/4" x 1 1/4" or 1/4" x 1 1/2": $0.80
3. Re-use the rubber _Seal_ from the stock wiper set up. (It's the piece that is a giant grommet)
4. Re-use the bolt from the rear motor unit... it screws onto item #1.

So from top to bottom:
top
1. Cap
2. Re-used factory rubber seal
3. Home Depot fender washer
4. Re-used factory bolt.

 

I think your just better off taking out the spare wheels, tools, and rear lid cover. All together it's about 35 lbs.
