Default Rear Wiper Delete?

When I was converting my Euro S to the S4 spoiler, I found a guy thorugh ebay that was parting an early 928, maybe an 80 or 81. He just happened to be in chicago and just happened to have all the pieces I needed. His car was a factory rear wiper delete. It even had the tool tray without the bump in it for the rear wiper thing. I was wondering if anyone else has or has seen a factory rear wiper delete on an OB? seems very rare since almost every car I see on ebay has the wiper.

Never heard of a factory rear wiper delete, but I supposed it could happen.

Pre-81, it seems you had to order all the options. My old '80, #0062 (now Heinrich's), had no sunroof, no rear wiper, no headlight squirters, no intensive washer. It did have alarm, cruise, and oddly, 931 6" flats.

There is a 86.5 in Toronto that has a factory S delete option. No rear or front spoilers and no break ducts either. So it is very possible that there are cars like that but not too many.

Does anyone offer properly molded plugs for a wiper delete?

Mine's not factory either. I think it looks clean without it.
I ended up driving behind my car and also behind Ernest's black GT from SITM to Boston, and think they both look good. I like mine, very minimal and clean..
