Rear Wiper Mod For 07,08,09, 03-06

yeah the nut is very tight but it still has some give... I think i'm going to just leave it be as it's not a huge concern because it still seems to work just fine and it doesn't sacrifice anything from looks

thanks guys this was a great idea!!

do u use it at all? I have NEVER used mine

Yeah I usually use it regularly.. I mean we got a lot of rain in RI this fall and I just figure use it if you got it right? I guess it's kind of unneeded cuz of how flat the rear window is rain sorta falls right off

Lol sounds good.. What percent did you do all around? I love you truck I think yours was the first I saw on here when you welcomed me.. I had plans to go big rims and lower but mine just isn't clean enough for that

lol...make it clean enough...my windshield has 35% with a 5% visor strip...my front windows are 5% and i'm thinking about putting 35% on top of that...the rest have the factory privacy glass with 15% tint on it...then i added 5% on top of that...i'll be buying a navigator in 2 yrs or so and then i will bag the truck on 28s or 30s...

Will the wiper arm stand straight out for washing the car like the front ones do. It's annoying when I wash my car and have to pull it out to wash it.

My upgraded rear wiper only comes out about halfway to straight

Still might do it. My OEM one is looking crappy now that I noticed it.

Was wondering, after reading through this whole thread, half of you say you don't even use the wiper, so why not just go buy a cap nut paint it black remove the old wiper arm and cover the screw with the nut?

 

[GAINMOB]

there may come a time that it has to get used...when i get my navigator i am deleting it for cleaner look

 

[GTR-34]

I think that will be my first upgrade

Went ahead and ordered another 2012 wiper for my new-to-me 2006 Expy. Spent about $23 (minus overnight shipping ) and will try to post pics once it gets here. Also have on order (separately) a new rear wiper motor as the existing one is completely dead. I highly recommend this mod to anyone going for a somewhat cleaner look from the rear end.
