Sharp looking plug. My free one does the job though, I don't feel like opening up that hatch panel again LOL

I don't know how you'd drive safely without it personally.

I agree 100%, deleting the rear wiper is foolish.
I also disagree with disabling the DRL's..."some" of the government mandates are a really good idea....seat belts, air bags, crash tests....all good.
Then again Big Brother has some ideas that I don't agree with...."safety labels" gimmie' a break....

No worries Mike its surely not for everyone. Thus why I don't live in Calgary and need it, I assume its much different where you are.

With our winter temps I am usually pressure washing the grime off the X once a week, so I never get a bad enough buildup on the rear glass to actually need it.

Been deleted for 2 years haven't missed it a day. Keeping the glass clayed and sealed does wonders for grime buildup as well.

Good news is you can just bolt on the E70 rear wiper arm/blade if you want an updated look but to keep the rear wiper.

I would never delete my rear wiper. In fact I was looking at the E70 conversion rear wiper. One of the members did one, and I think it looks real good.

Haven't deleted mine because I occasionally use it, but if it starts skipping like I've heard some do, that thing's coming off!
