back wiper?????

its not ilegal not to have 1, wheather or not it came from the factory
the reason why some cars have them is to do with the angle of the window and how it gets rid of rain

saloons dont usally have a back wiper, hatchbacks do, some coupe cars have them
 
The general rule is that if it was fitted with one at the factory then it must work. It's one of those things that is, to a degree, at the discretion of the tester. The little Ibiza hatch we have here has a rear wash/wipe and the washer has not worked for 5 years but it still passes without incident.

Most saloon cars don't have rear wipers, the only ones I recall clearly are the very last of the Ford Escort saloons (previously called Ford Orion) which had rear wipers on top end models.

So did one or two Nissan Primera P11 saloon models in the late 1990s.

Clearly your car cannot fail on a rear wiper not being there if it was never made with one!!
 
if i was to remove my rear wiper and the motor. im guessing that there will be a hole in the glass were the wiper was connected to the wiper. therefore i would need to get a new back window???
 
My Coupe left the factory without a rear wiper, so it can't be illegal.
where as my prelude is a coupe aswell, and it has a wiper
its all to do with the way the rain flows of the car, some need them, some dont

its like when they tried to ban tinted windows over here
they said if it had tints, it would failo the nct

but newer cars came with privacy glass as standard, so the whole ilegal thing was sqashed

so its a personal choice, if you dont want 1, take it off
 
ive just tryed to remove the back wiper but im having a bit of a prob. ive removed the back wiper blade and the arm. and im left with 2 nuts. ive removed the 1st 1. but the 2nd one is a B****RD. it just keeps spinning. anyone know how to get the bugga off?
