  • Aero wiper for the rear

    Purely interested in fitment for a coupe but has anybody got any pics of the setups done?
    I want to see if the blade is the correct way round (all I can see is people using a front arm on the back, which means the aerodynamics will be wrong)
    TIA

      An aero wiper won't work on the back unless you drive everywhere in reverse
      Not sure there is a modern looking item to use, best bet is to remove it.

        Thanks, that's the issue if you fit something it is the wrong way round. There must be an arm and blade available from the range???

              Unfortunately, I don't think there is a modern arm that will work. Rear wipers are ugly and most modern coupes do without.
              The only car with a similar rear screen angle is the TT they don't have a rear wiper.

                    the Porsche 997 has an aero blade that is the correct way round but sadly the arm has slightly the wrong angle to suit our needs, but it is close. Will hunt around tonight and see what MB, Porsche or BMW has available.

                      Don't forget you also need to consider the spine fitment

                        spline I don't see as an issue, too small, can drill bigger, too large can have a reducer made...

                          I like my rear glass wiper... wouldn't remove it for nothing Its meant to be on our olde cars in my humble opinion. Now an aero solution would be sleek I like your enthusiasm

                              the Porsche Panamera has a rear aero wiper which is on the same side as we need, the rear screen is pretty big on those, so i have an arm and blade on the way to test my theory.
