Question for Stamford

[marts66]

Hi mate, just looking at your pics of Goodwood and noticed your rear wiper (so to speak). How much work is involved in that please, could be a worthwhile mod...;)

[stamford]

Sourcing the right shape and dimension wiper motor is the key and then fabricating mounts and having the balls to drill a large hole in the bootlid for it! Then running wiring to a switch, which I have not finished as yet as I want to use a hatch stalk as this has the rear wash/wipe built in. I have this temporarily wired through a switch on the dash.

I used a Corsa rear wiper motor and bought a short wiper blade.

[marts66]

thanxs very much, might look into this in the new year when mine comes back. greatly appreciated though.

thats what i miss on my saloon. was so used to having it on my hatch

[XPCobra]

take it a step further and drill through the glass ( well get somebody to do that) or just keep your car clean.

[afcbadam]

keepimg it clean is my anwser, had its weekly wash earlier tonight

Weekly!

Lucky if mine gets one monthly

[rbull51]

Weekly wash is the way to go, leave it any longer than that and it gets very dirty and harder to wash!

Am i the only one who wouldnt dream of putting a wiper on if i had a saloon? i think it looks so much better without one and with the angle the back window is at it never really gets that dirty does it? maybe its just me.

Each to their own.

The miles I do each week makes a difference to me and helps to see those roof extras some cars have ;)

If they have them... The vast majority of them here are now mounted in the cerntre of the front window at dash height or in the front grille, and in the back window.:shutup:

I totally agree, i appreciate the work you have put into getting this onto your car and admire the fact you have the balls to go for it!! :clap2: its just not for me, i hope i didnt offend :sad:

[stamford]

No not at all! That's what's great about forums, opinions and discussions.

If I worried about being offended I wouldn't have made it public about the mod :D

You gotta take the rough with the smooth.

I do miss the wiper from my hatch, but I'm not going to put one on the saloon... theres a bloody big spoiler in the way so I can't really see much out the back anyway ;)
