Im thinking its about time to replace the rotted out hatch lid on my s13. But, i have a rear wiper too. It seems hard to find a lid with a wiper on it thats not rusted out. Does the lid with no wiper have a spot for the moter to go? Basically, could i drill a hole in the new lid, and fit the wiper and motor into it? Or would it be a big pain with wiring and such?

The hatch shells are identical, but if it were me, I would choose not to have the wiper there at all...

Saves weight, and makes the car look cleaner..

Just my 2 cents..

Does any company make a fiberglass hatch for the fastback? It would save a lot of weight, but cost a pretty penny...

that wouldn't be too reliable i imagine, it would probably be easier to get someone to mold you a lexan or plexiglass hatch glass and that would be even lighter

hey! someone from lincoln, nebraska!! hey initial d, what color is your car? there really aren't too many 240's floating around lincoln. i wonder if i've seen you before. i have a red 89 240sx seyou'd be able to tell it's me because my exhaust is pretty loud and sounds a little bad still, because it's still kinda leaky.
