Looks like 370Z is getting rear wiper

AK370Z · 11-24-2008, 11:35 PM

What do you guys think?

I don't care because I DO use the one in my Z. But I think it takes away some beauty of the Z

Discuss.

Hmmm.....

The JDM version often has the wiper, while the USDM doesnt. Its the same with Subaru.

Its' not meant for aesthetics. Its' meant for functionality.

True that. No wiper on the USDM model:

I live in Oregon. I will be opting for the (possible) option for a rear windshield wiper.
Having a windshield that flat, how could you not opt for it if you live in the NW or NE? Aesthetics, aesmechtics RainX doesn't work that well.

Yeah, it's not good looking..
My Cayman hasn't got it and I've noticed it's not a big problem. But I think that it depends on the car; some say that the new Z's big butt doesn't come handy in parking maneuvers.. It would be worst in the rain.

You're right. I hope cars for all markets are equipped with this feature.

RCZ · 11-25-2008, 07:57 PM

Its most likely not going to be an option either. Chances are that if you want a wiper youre going to have to overpay for the assembly and then do some careful cutting, or pay more for the bodypart.

I don't see sh*t in rainy days. If my car has been parked in the lot and it's been raining, it doesn't matter it's day or night, I gotta use my rear wipers. Oh BTW, rainX =

sh** they better not put a wiper blade in the rear windshield! if aftermarket guys make carbon fiber trunk, they gonna jack up the labor cost to disassemble the wiper blade n' that means more money out of my pocket!! imma pay **** load of money to take out the rear windshield newayz. why they gotta make it worst, n' put a wiper blade on it.
you dunt need to see out ur rear window when you drive it doesn't help!

i drive a 05 toyota 4runner and i got 5% tint all around, i cant see sh** out my windows and i got a wiper blade on the rear windshield i never use it. so dunt put one on this car.

BanningZ · 11-26-2008, 02:12 AM

Its settled then. jaesung83 does not want a wiper.

It'll be funny if they take the time to remove the rear wiper blade but not that round thing on the back bumper, lol!

Dont worry, I'll be the first to sell color matched "Rear Wiper Delete®" kits if they dont remove the wiper. Also will sell "That Round Thing On the Back Bumper Delete®" Kits

What is this "round thing"? The gas cap? The Exhaust? The Nissan emblem? The third brake light?
