I have a spare rear windscreen in the garage, in mint condition

(I replaced it for one with a rear wash wipe), cost me 40 quid to have it swapped over by the windscreen place

You do know the glass on ebay is for an impreza with a rear wiper as it has a big hole in the bottom

If yours has a rear wiper then your ok, if not you will have a big hole in the bottom of the glass
