JDM rear wiper

grind2nite · 12-20-2010, 12:15 PM

Does anyone know if the rear wiper can be ordered from Japan either as a kit, or with the whole rear hatch, or is there a way to order a Japanese spec version to the US?

im sure you can go to autozone and buy a wiper blade and some 3M tape?

invest in a rearview camera.

I just think its unfair that they put them on Japanese spec cars and not on US when we need them more than they do. SO is there any serious replies out there or is it still jerky hour?

I'm glad they didn't. I like my Z as light and simple as possible.

I don't remember if the wiper arm starts on the hatch or the window. If it starts on the hatch obviously a new hatch would be needed. I would buy a used hatch complete with wiper. Problem after that would be the wiring it up to the steering console.

Googled some pics and it does come through the hatch. The spray is on the glass too.

Add to the above that there is likely additional backside structural support, and rigidity involved with a wiper hatch.

Honestly, just use rainX it will be more cost effective and sheds standing water pretty well. I live in GA and it rains all the time! I also tinted my windows 20% and tinted my tails 5% sooo needless to say for me to back up at night requires my windows down and my head sticking out lol.

Because it never rains in Japan. water simply rises from the ground.

Rain-x FTW. Don't waste your money. Getting a full rear hatch from japan will cost a small fortune.
