I've got a rear wiper!

Skaven252 · 28th November 2006, 17:47

... right here.

See how nicely it matches the interior lighting?

Seriously, I had to get one. The weather over here lately has been such, that if I leave my car parked outside for the day, the windows get all covered in wet mist on the outside, too wet to evaporate by just warming up the car interior.

hahaha.... well it matches the color of the Vivid Blue Pearl

Same with me! Plus, I began to scrape some thin ice too... Got my de-icer sprays for thicker ones...

For sure, I have to get rid of that thick stuff in the morning

It would certainly match the colour of mine pretty well. However, I am led to believe that the Honda official version is £60 +VAT

And that's with a hard haggled discount

I do the same thing although I've got this thing made by Turtle wax. Its about 12" long and made out of rubber and clears the back windscreen in 2 strokes.

I think its meant to washing cars but does the job great. I'll try and find a picture.

EDIT:
Picture of it.

Costs £9.99 from halfords and is great for removing the excess water

Rubber blades are really excellent. They are designed to be used to wipe the excess wate off the car after washing it. It does do it well, but make sure the car really is clean. Any grime or grit will scratch the paint. I used to use one, but am a little scared to use it on the civic! I care more about the paint than I did with my Clio!

Yeah, its curved shape and flexibility really help there. Mine's straight (while the windscreen is curved) so I get contact problems with the rubber blade.

Too bad I couldn't find one like that in the shops I looked. But it cost only €2.
