Rear wiper?
Has anyone removed the wiper arm or complete motor assembly?
I really don't want the wiper operable at all. In Oregon they use a lot of volcanic sand on the roads for traction in the winter when it snows and that stuff plus a rear wiper = scratches.
What I was thinking about doing is removing everything and plugging the hole with a nice black rubber plug. If that is too extreme/difficult is that motor fused so i could just yank the fuse?

I have not run across a thread addressing this but I can see where you are coming from. I would think if you can gently remove the inside panel on the back door, you should just be able to unplug the rear motor. I seriously doubt the rear wiper is fused alone.

good point, i will take a peek behind that panel. should be an easy one to remove because it is all laid out there infront of you.

Yes the First me it would be hard to remove, just give an additional pressure to teh clips which is held within firmly, it snaps out, ( assuming they are broken, but dont worry it is safe, Here is the Sequence to it.
1. Remove the Base Cap of the Wiper Arm with some presssure.
2. Once Base Cap is removed.
3. The Wiper Arm can be pulled outward and bent.
4. The dust Cover can be removed simultaneously, I had replaced mine as the plastic was bit faded.
5.The wiper blade refilled.
6. Fit back the reverse all the way.
Hope it helps!.
