Suprakeith Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Right folks after some advice and opinions please, my supra is going to bodyshop in few weeks, to have few bits done including removing rear window repairing and fitting new seal, once done and car has new boots will be fitting a carbon big rear wing (Whifbitz Carbon GT Wing) And am unsure about keeping rear wiper or having the rear wiper deleted and smoothed over. i am having the ariel hole blocked off and smoothed, intrested to see what members think as i not 100% on which way to go with rear wiper. Any pictures or opinions welcome...pic of rear of supra how she is at moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raddys Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Totally down to personal preference but I prefer the wiper and aerial left as they are, but then my supra is stock so just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 The decision was made for me as I bought the car with the rear wiper already deleted, however I do like the clean look of it and have no desire to put the wiper back. Plus the car never goes out in the wet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Leave it, its functional. But if you remove it make it reversible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the look of yours aswell without rear wiper and same my car doesn't really get used in rain so won't miss the rear wiper 19 hours ago, raddys said: Totally down to personal preference but I prefer the wiper and aerial left as they are, but then my supra is stock so just my opinion. Mine is far from stock these day, my thinking was is everything filled in then last areas water can get into car which is always good thing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyg_5 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 It's not exactly the best rear wiper so I would go with whatever you like the look of! Does look pretty good wiperless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I removed mine but used the blanking piece rather than weld up the hole. I use Rain X on the glass and never missed not having a rear wiper Haven't got any photos but think it looks better without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
