yep, Just remove it,and the assorted hardware under the speaker shelf. its a 944 part number, just a rubber plug that inserts into the hole in the glass.

Just ordered the pieces, I am going to do it. Find the rear window looks much cleaner, just like on the RS...

Sorry, should have put a smiley face in there. Phil is an old pal and I was just being a wise ***. The P car rear ws wiper delete is very thorough.

Looks good, I love the clean lines of no spoilers, basket handle or rear wiper.

I would like to delete my rear wiper, too, but would prefer to swap out the glass to '95 style so that I can eliminate the wiper hole as well as eliminate the third brake light assembly at the top. Once I do that, I'll sell the rear wiper assembly.

If anyone local with '95 rear glass wants to do a trade, I'm interested in that, too.
