B) search around here for the thread where a member updated his rear wiper to the all plastic volvo/land rover (IIRC) design. C) Delete it all together....you have two other mirrors to use in the winter.....all the rear wiper does is scratch the glass anyway.
I was thinking of getting rid of it just like you said I got mirrors to look out anyways and it does scratch the window. now I just need to figure out what to cover up the wiper spline on the motor with?
