Finally finished... I used a 1" steel cap that I found at Home Depot. This is just for now until I find a 1.25" Reverse Camera. I have an 1.5" now, but is way too big.

 

I'm planning this mod the next time my wife is out of town... she pops a cork every time I do something to my daily driver (I've already got the Wallet Eater-- see pic in sig to 'waste' money on).

 

I understand this mod for appearance reason, but I just don't see why you don't have use for a rear wiper?

 

FTFY

 

You're right. Why would I question wanting to see out of your rear window on a rainy day. I'm enlightened.

 

It was pouring down here back in Feb. and I never even thought to turn it on.

 

I've never had a rear wiper. I've always thought they were silly. I don't know if I'd use it during a rain, probably not. Hard to say as I haven't driven in the rain yet -- hot and dry this time of year.

I do like the looks without it better.

 

I've had my Blackie for over 11 months here in the OC and have been in the rain with it many a time..like Kim, never thought to use it as I see fine out the back window.

So off it went.

In fact Tim (Tkhhr and the person who took it off for me & Kim ) took off the water spout chingas on his 2-tone and put a small plug in that--forgot to take a pic of it at breakfast this morning...looks cool!

It has now joined the air filter, and stock springs in the fast growing 'parts i've taken off my hhr' bin.

@...

 

You're welcome. Aside from the fact that I have not needed it in any amount of downpour, I offer the following comments in no particular order--

• Rain-X
• vertical window = very little rain hitting it
• if pure utility was my only interest, I wouldn't have chosen the HHR
• It's unlikely you'd be looking out MY rear window on ANY day

That is all.

 

I went all last winter without using mine just to see if I needed it.....I didn't! Mine will be removed next time I have some black paint in the gun. BTW - what with all these plugs, doesn't anyone use Bondo anymore?
