mjcdriscoll Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 anyone know where i can get everything i need to install the rear wiper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 You would need the JDM motor for the wiper, the actual wiper, the wiring for the switch, the switch itself, AND the rear windshield itself. Trust me, it's not worth the trouble. Jedimaster is pulling your leg on the fact that his car is a WAGON Only JDM sedans have the rear wipers on their sedans.

SBT Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey, Welcome to the site and hope you're enjoying your new LGT. Have to agree it is a balanced piece of performance, near-luxury, and has room for some minor tweaks and changes, e.g., navigation, electrically controlled folding mirrors, rear window wiper/washer on the sedans, etc. Having lived in Japan during typhoon season (much like Southern California last month) the rear window wiper is a nice feature. But, unfortunately we don't get it here in the USDM. I'm not even sure if our friends Down Undah get the rear window wiper option. Perhaps Adam could chime in here and let us know.

Trust me, it's not worth the trouble. Keefe Just out of curiosity, why would the windshield matter. I can see needing to make space for mounting and such, but is there something special about it?

tachikaze Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You would need the JDM motor for the wiper, the actual wiper, the wiring for the switch, the switch itself, AND the rear windshield itself. Keefe ? Seems to me a T-handle mounted in the dash, some cabling & pulleys would be an adequate replacement for all that wiring and stuff edit: better yet modify the left footrest to be the actuator; 50lbs of pressure, 4" travel ought to be enough.
