Rear Wiper.

[66yostagea]

I have been used to driving hatches and waggons for a while, like 25 years.

Now I have quite a good MR30 for my daily drive I am thinking about fitting a rear wiper/washer.

Has any one attempted this? If so with what?

There are plenty of rice bowls at the wreckers from which to get parts.

on a sedan? im sure my mr30 hatch had one, and i know for sure my c210 coupe did. C211 sedan didnt though.

you will need a HR or DR30 import 4 door rear glass, and all the associated bits.

it is definitly possible, but really only way to do it is the factory bits from the imports....

lotsa mucking around thats for sure.

it woud be easy to set up a small 'spoiler' in the top of the rear window that deflects the airstream downwards to blast te water away.... alot easier i woul think than seeing if a rear glass can be removed without breaking!

Must be a 4 door import glass as nothing else fits.

Might be easier flying to the moon than finding the bits in Oz, but if I was attempting such an exercise, I would be trying to immitate the imports and get a hole cut in the bottom of the glass, but if it breaks your in more trouble than it's worth.

MMMmmmmm. Seems abit difficult, although it is not a problem to drill a hole in the rear window.

The sedan has a nice louvre at the back and a stop light mounted on the parcel shelf.

Be careful! The louvre is likely to fowl the wiper blade. Ho Hummmm

Too true Dennis!

Something a bit more 'down-to earth' would be buying an import sedan - they can be had with L20ET, FJ20E and FJ20ET auto or manual and come with the aforementioned wiper

(what more could you want?!?!)

[gazza750]

Probably be cheaper to buy a HR or DR than trying to convert the rear glass on the MR

Excuse the OT...

When we last met at Wakefield Park the Stagea was 'something different' - now it's the family car!

(yes we are married, with child)
