[Doomday300]

anyone have pictures with the rear wiper tooken off? I think it would look good. Thanks

[Doomday300]

and also, does anyone have the plug size to fill the hole once tooken off? spl has them, but they charge $9 for shipping plus $1 for the plug.... shippings outrageous!!.... but i figure if i can get the size, i can find one at home depot or somewhere. Thanks

The wiper on my old Z was not just deleted, but it was also shaved, as was the antenna. When I get to repainting my Z in a few years, I will definitely be doing both. Here is a pic

I got my plug for free.

Here's what I followed to do the rear wiper delete.

[QUOTE=Honad]She's home! I am very satisfied with the work. They did a top notch job. I can't quite go wash the car yet, but as soon as I do expect some manner of photoshoot. Here are the pictures of the clean shaven Slicktop. What Antenna... we don't need no stinkin' antenna. We don't need no stinkin' wiper either.

i think this little mod makes the car look so much smoother

[Doomday300]

how you get the plug for free? and that slicktop looks GREAT!!

[NSR_s30]

NSRZ32 did it as well. It looks really good without that wiper

how you get the plug for free? and that slicktop looks GREAT!!

I got the link to the free sample on the 300zxclub write up on how to do the rear wiper delete.

[Dru Dru]

how do you do that?

[aidanair]

hey anyone else know how to get the "free sample" plug? removed my assembly the other day and had to tape it because i cant find the plug. 10 bucks for that piece of rubber SPL sells is outrageous.

[tmeyer29]

Ive been looking for a rear wiper too. If any of you guys are in texas let me know. I dont mind having a wiper.

[tmeyer29]

i work at a kawasaki, yamaha, and polaris dealership and i decided to do a little research. I recalled polaris using a plug similar in size on there older style snowmobiles. I checked it out today. What do ya know its a 30 mm plug. You should be able to get this plug at any polaris dealership for no more than 6 bucks. Its a somewhat common item considering I has 8 in stock. My car is in storage so I havnt done it yet but I think I might have to Moral of story. Go to a polaris dealership and get yourself part number 5410344.

Further on the rear wiper delete, does anyone actually who still has their wiper use it that much? I only drove (read: nursed carefully) my car once on a clear night, no rain so I never used it and am thinking of getting rid of it myself.

I mean, if it is raining hard and you don't use it, can you still see out the back window when driving at 'speed?' I plan to use something like RainX on the windows anyway, plus it seems to me that the shape of the Z wouldn't allow for much rain hitting the back window... So is the back wiper really that necessary?

(My original poast was in the wrong topic, oops... )

Did you do anything to maintain a radio signal?

If so, how?

[L.A.Z32]

I just did mine and it looks good heres the link for on how to remove and also getting a free plughttp://www.300zxclub.com/showp...unt=1

[flashstar]

I'll keep my antenna and rear wiper, that's for sure! Even in Texas, it rains every few weeks and it really helps to have a rear wiper. Just today, we had a torrential downpour and it would have been difficult to see anything if it weren't for my wiper. The antenna is another great thing. I think that it mostly adds to the car and its 90's look. I also get great reception with my antenna.

[josieonetooth]

how else do you get a free plug? i was banned from 300zxclub before i even got to post one thing(for trolling?), so i cant see whatevers in the link.

[pintovit]

I also get great reception with my antenna.

That's what keeps me off from the antenna delete. I do listen to a lot of radio when driving. It would have to be replaced by some internal antenna right?How is the reception on those?

Cheers,Vítor

I like my rear wiper! I use it alot. If I bring my Z out in the rain I can see out of the back window. If it was just a track driven car than I could see the need to remove it but I like to drive in the rain every once in a while.

[pintovit]

Well, most new cars don't come with a rear window wiper and it's fine... I've driven quite a few without any issues... Actually, the surprise is when there is a rear window wiper...

I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.

Super old thread revival
HONAD your slicktop is sick!

I made a video of the process of removing my rear wiper for those who follow in suit.

This is good stuff.

Possibly see an article in the near future. I'll put it in my "think about list".

I made a write up on the delete a couple years ago on here.

^ Where? A write up is better obviously since people can print it.
