Celica Forums General Discussion General Rear Window Wiper

Well what can I say mine didnt come with one. At first I was like ah no big deal. But now I'm kinda regreting that. It's already kinda hard to back up b/c of visiblity but now when it rains or there is mist on the back window I can't see worth a flip. I just get worried I'm going to back out and someone is going to RAM my baby!. So neways. Where can I get a rear window wiper sys and about how much do they run?

hold on, how come your's doesn't have one?
I thought that it's standart

^^^shut up rich boy mine didnt come with one neither. i also thought that i didnt need it, but i was wrong. its hard during cold-rainy seasons. i dont think RainX work as good as the hype suggests it does.

some people shave theirs off. so i woudl look for them Does it have the knob ot put it on or is it ocmpletely shaved off?

why shave th em off!? No i dont see a place to stick it

^^^no you just cant "stick it". you'll have to cut a hole insert the motor, the arm, run the wiring, and a whole lotta stuff to add to it.

too much work

i dindt mean you coudl just majicaly put it on the car. I was seeing if they jsut took it off at the dealer or something. Well i think you f'eed then. Unless you want to do some drilling.

nooooooooooooooooot really. didnt think there was an ez way but thought maybe i should ask and maybe get lucky thanx.

I have the same problem with my car, but I still don't want it

i think its already pre-wired because i saw an open socket on my trunk door and wondered wat it was...i figured it was for that. where are the controls located in the car anyway for those that comes with rear wiper???

its ont he tip end of the wiper arm on teh sterring wheel. Its turns at the end

My 2003 Toyota Celica GT was purchased in California, where the cold weather package was not sold as a standard option. I now live in Washington state and having that rear wiper would really help on those rainy mornings when backing out of my driveway.

I looked underneath the plastic panel on the back hatch as well as some wiring diagrams of cold weather package celicas and mine does indeed have the port to plug in the wiper motor. Has anyone here gone about drilling the hole for the wiper arm? It shouldn't be a crazy difficult operation.

I know I will also need to change the wiper stalk on the dash
