EDIT: short version: My car didn't have a rear wiper originaly and I am getting a hatch that does have a wiper. How could I wire in the rear wiper so I can use it?

Long version:

I have the worst rust on the trunk lid because of the spoiler on my hatchback. For some reason, the previous owner (original owner) thought it was a good idea to get a foamy spoiler installed as a dealer option on a base model when the car was new. So I do have a spoiler, but I don't have a wiper.

ALTERNATIVE TO READING ANY MORE: If you have a white (or maybe black), wiper less, spoiler less hatch lid and would like to sell it, or trade me for a white, spoiler less hatch WITH a wiper, email me at [email protected]

Now to go on with the problem. I have been looking for a white hatch lid without a wiper or a spoiler for the last 2 months and I have had no luck. I found one recently that does not have a spoiler but DOES have a wiper. Since my hatch lid did not have a wiper, I was wondering if anyone knows how I would wire it in. I searched and couldn't find anything.

I don't really care about having a wiper. In fact, I don't want one, but if I am going to have the wiper there then I want to use it. That is why I would like to trade someone the hatch lid that I will get for one without a wiper. So if you want to do that, know someone who is willing to do that, or know how to hook up the wiper on my car, help me out please.

Gonna be tough to find.

Typically hatch owners desire a wingless hatch, so it's unlikely you'll get a trade.

Well the hatch I am getting IS wingless, it just has a wiper and I would rather have one without a wiper. Let me clarify:-on my car right now is a hatch with a wing, without a wiper-I have kind of commited on a deal to buy a hatch without a wing, with a spoiler next week.-I would like to have a hatch without a wiper and without a wing but the one WITH a wiper is the best I could find.

So I was wondering if anyone that has a hatch without a wiper would rather have one with a wiper and would trade me for the hatch I will be getting next week.

I have tried car-part.com and found nothing reasonable for a good price. It's absurd how much some junk yards want to charge for it, up to $400.

Now, since I doubt anyone within a 4 hour drive would like to trade me, I need to know how to wire in the rear wiper.

Maybe I made people read too much to help me, so I added a part to the first post.
