from wot i have heard it can be done, rather involved i think tho! new rear window, wiper stalk etc have to be fitted from either an import or p1 i guess! breakers are your best choice no doubt!

Or just use some Rain-X Sorry but I gotta say rear wipers look horrid especially on saloon cars, it's the one thing about imports I absolutely hate - in fact I'd pay to have it removed

If you get by with no wipers on the side windows why not the rear? I can see the point on wagons cos of the aerodynamics but saloons don't have the same problem (hence why all estates/wagons from every manufacturer in the UK has a rear wiper whereas almost no saloons have one).

Suppose your right. Assume RAIN-X can be purchased from Halfords.

Thanks for the responses all much appreciated.

I'd be lost without mine. Had a 325i without one and it really p****** me off. Nobody notices it due to the STI 6 spoiler!
