Thumbs down Rear Wiper

Having owned my scooby for three weeks i'm loving it, only thing that bugs the hell out of me is it has no rear wiper.

Has anyone put one on? How much did it cost? and how hard to do?

Would depend I looked at it myself on my old MY99UK Classic but many differences between UK and JDM/WRX/STi/ 2door/4door/wagon IIRC.
It was VERY expensive new rear window, Motor etc, wiring and Stork etc. OK not so dear if secondhand bits but wouldn't be certain they fitted

On the Newage the differences and Models are far fewer UK and JDM wiring looms might be the same but not certain.

Maybe worth taking to API or Grade A Subaru

Has no one told you that scoobs dont have a rear wiper cos they are that quick nothing else keeps up
(you dont need to look out the back )
If your really stuck though, you could use rain x ( ) or just wash the windows more often (keeps them rain free)

got myself an import so I dont have this problem but I feel for you. I'd hate to be without a rear wiper as it gets used a lot.
I cant believe subaru felt it adequate to re-design the car without one for the english market! how does that make sense? it rains more here than in japan surely?!

I have found some peeps tend to get upset if you don't let them catch up especially those in blue and Yellow livery

Think i know where there is a smashed to hell p1, not sure if the rear screen is intact (the driver tried to mount the engine in the passenger seat using a lamppost)
Might have to see if i can get it sorted.

Id forget it; the switch gear is different; its a massive job and it really isnt worth it.

So this Geordie goes to the doctor, and complains that the sweat under his armpits smells of coconut.


The doctor responds " Way aye man, it's bounty..........."
