    Default Should I delete the rear wiper?

    As above, I am in the position where I can choose to either maintain the rear wiper as it is now....... OR I can delete it entirely.

    I have deleted the Aerial for the simple reason it looks stupid. Unsure on rear wiper though.

    Your thoughts?

    Cheers

    Sorry, Yes it is a Sprinter............... If you were to consider it from a purely aesthetics standpoint, would you still have the same thought?

    It isn't going to be a daily driver, and a bit of rain on the back window has never concerned me in most other cars I drive/have driven.

    yes, you should, it looks ugly but has a very good purpose of making sure you can see out the back window when the rains are here, no point asking peoples opinions. do you want to be able to see out your back window when it's raining? or do you want to have a cleaner looking spoontah?

    aesthetically of course i wouldn't have it, aesthetically I wouldn't have front wipers, or mirrors, or mudflaps etc etc, but my corona has no rear wiper and a much steeper rake angle and it still shits me the way i cant see out of it.

    I live in Qld.....It barely rains !!! It aint melbourne

    The rain isn't really of any great concern. More an aesthetic thought.

    Now is the time for me to decide before I get into prepping the hatch for paint.

    I have a rear wipper in my car... completly useless as my demister switch is stuffed and the rear window is always foggy.. and I can't recal ever needing to use it.. I hasn't rained for ages when I've been in transit.
