I have seen one other hatch that has no hole/plug/wiper, in fact I think it is currently for sale from a parted car.

I have 2 friends with the no hole in glass, both are 89's one a N/A the other a Turbo.

I have a friend that just purchased an 89 S2 with no hole in the hatch. It appears to be the original hatch.

I would assume it is more rare than a factory sunroof-delete roof, but may be less desirable in comparison.

So my car not having a sunroof isn't the way most of them came from the factory ?

I don't have the facts and figures but that is definitely the truth here in the US. I don't know about the ROW. Finding a factory sunroof-delete car in the US is like winning the top prize on a cheap scratch-off lottery ticket.... They are out there but the odds are against you in finding one! Next weekend I will be buying my 24th 944, and all of them have had sunroofs.

And, I was on-topic, see original post >

My bad Elliot as I was meaning I was taking it OT by asking about sunroofs and not wiper deletes

I must be missing something if there's any benefit in the hole delete option .

My 89 also has no wiper or hole in the rear hatch, never replaced the glass.

Same here, my '89 has no wiper or hole in the rear hatch, has original glass.

Clifton,
If you are referring to my '89 951 you are correct, no hole with original glass

Will Feather

Sounds like an '89 thing.

Never heard of it either.

C ANDERSON

Hey you crazy Brit ! Yes I am talking about your 89 Turbo not having the hole and Mr. Pigg's blue 89 NA also does not have the hole. However, Cary's 89 S2 has the hole and no wiper.

It appears that this is a 89 thing.

Does anyone know if a 944 came without the wiper, is the wiring for the wiper motor still there? Thanks

I've seen a lot of people remove their rear wiper, and they always use a little plug to fill the hole. I'd always assumed that was the only real option. Then my buddy bought an '89 S2 wreck for parts, and it had a hatch with no hole. It really just made me curious. I mean, it is a big cleaner looking than having that plug in the glass. But really, I just discovered something I didn't know existed, and I was curious about it.

Dont't need no stinkin hole. Crazy Britt and Mr Anderson in the same thread WOW.
You are correct Mr Anderson my 89 has no hole and look much cleaner.
