Title: Rear glass with no rear wiper hole?
Post by: stu_no_1 on April 16, 2013, 09:26:24 pm

Can you get a rear windscreen without the hole for the rear wiper id like to do away with the rear wiper but dont really want to just have a grommet in its place

How come you dont just want a grommet? Some look so tidy you barely even notice it. Much easier too... & cheaper i would imagine  :grin:

There was  a German special edition that was orange with heavily tinted  windows i saw once over here as an import and that had a completely smooth rear, no hole in the glass. So theoretically this can be bought. Should be on German Etka.  :laugh:
