    Why would you want to do that? Rear wiper ESP. Ay this time of year with all the ice and salt makes it horrible to look from the rear view mirror.

    Just use the lupo wiper arm which looks much better

        All though I would not recommend de-wipering the front

          Like the midnight race club in Japan - they went through a phase of de-wipering the fronts because of the aerodynamic impact above 160mph (!)

            Agreed, the rear wiper on an avant is a necessity, the coupe could do without..

                    What size are the wheels on the avant? 16's?

                      I used a head set of a mountain bike on my old one.. Thinking about doing it to this one makes it look lovely n smooth. An well if your car is clean who needs a wiper...

                        That is a good idea, I may try that temporarily
