Has anyone fitted a WRX or STI rear window/rear wash wipe to their MY00 UK spec 4 door.

If so is the window bonded in so has to be fitted by a windscreen technician?

Is it easy enough to wire in the rear wiper motor?

With a Jap spec glass replacement will I have any MOT issues?

How much would I be looking at the make this mod?

Any help would be great cheers

Believe it or not I believe they are a slightly diff size!
Prob due to the wiper etc. Hole in bodywork is the same but actual glass and rubbers are diff size

Thumbs up

I was looking in to doing this and spoke to a couple of breakers and garages who thought was easily do-able. A couple of breakers had all the parts available too.
From what I could gather the windows are the same apart from the tint on the Jap ones. The wiring etc was again all perfectly feasible.
I had to give up in the end as MrsH decided that a new house would be a better idea..
