£120 for a rear wiper arm - seriously?

I'm not sure you should be too surprised at the price. It's only about four times what you would expect - a bargain by Porsche part-pricing standards. ;-)

I got charged $190 for mine last year...I never use the rear wiper and wish that I didn't have one...If ever my rear glass breaks, I'll be looking for a new piece of glass that doesn't have a hole in it. Since I've got some rust in the rear surround, that day may come sooner rather than later.
You'll have to pay a lot of $$$$ for that piece of glass without a hole . . . .

Step 1: Remove functioning rear wiper assembly and related hardware
Step 2: Store all hardware somewhere safe
Step 3: Install rear wiper delete plug
Step 4: Enjoy your car, sans rear wiper
Step 5: Wait for car to become "valuable" as it relate to wiper
Step 6: Reinstall wiper assembly
Step 7: Profit!
Personally, i'm glad my car is not equipped with a rear wiper. My daily driver hatchback has a rear wiper, and not only do I never use that wiper, I also have never replaced the wiper blade on that thing since new (2003), since there's no point.
