Hi everyone...I did something I thought I'd never think of doing but I did it, I removed my rear wiper.
And I did all at the cost of $3...cheap cheap.
I'm posting this as an alternative method because another fellow ClubRSX member is charging $15 and I thought if anyone was intersed in saving themselves some cash, this was another effective way it could be done.
All you do is go to the local hardware store and pick up a trim cap, it covers something on doors or door pannels...it's just a circle cap baisicly.
You then use "Marine Water Proof" Silicone to attatch the cap to the hole in the window.
This Silicone works very nice and doesn't leak in the least. I used it on my DIY JDM Black Housing Headlights and no problems what so ever with water leaking in. I did these in July last year, the 2nd day I got the car and it's been great.
So if anyone has any questions about it just PM me...just thought I'd share the info.
Later...Jennifer :wavey:
Here's a pic. of the finished product...sorry about the fog on the bottom of the window.
I like it because that's how the JDM ITR's come in Japan, and I hardly ever use mine so I figgured why not...I like to be a little different and no one around here has it done...yet.
Click on my profile and go to my gallery...they're all there.
i noticed you had some sort of cover pver your tail lights...if you have picture of them, can you post them up? just curious to see what it looks like, thanks! btw, nice job on the missing wiper! :thumbsup:
Nice job on the rear wiper. I have another quick question.....I was checking out your gallery and noticed you have the "i-VTEC DOHC" decal down by your rear tirewell. I have been looking for those forever and was wondering if you had them custom made or purchased them from somewhere in particular. Thanks in advance.
The kit I sell for $15 does NOT use silicone to attach the cap to the window. Using silicone to attach it seems pretty ghetto and not very weather proof if you ask me. My kit comes with washers so water won't get into the car. My cap comes with a threaded bolt so you can make it very tight against the window.

Ghetto - - - MORE LIKE CUSTOM. You know you don't have to spend 15.00 to make it look nice and the WATER PROOF silicone that I used is guaranteed not to leak. You should be lucky I mention your post and I didn't BASH It in any way I think you Owe me an apology considering my creative skills were crushed by your use of the word ghetto.
Homes.
