has anyone added a rear wiper post purchase? i'm planning on driving my 2003 year round and don't really mind the look of a rear wiper, but not sure if it's feasible or affordable.

thanks for any feedback.

Looking at mine, it seems like it would be a significantly involved process. I'm willing to give you any info if you've got questions but I've never heard of anyone doing it.

thanks, i assumed it wouldn't be easy or inexpensive. curious what that feature cost back in 03. from all the video and reviews i've seen it appears to be a much more popular option for european/canadian buyers than those here in the US.

You may want to confirm but I believe the panel below the window the wiper protrudes through is wielded in place so you could be in for quite a project. FWIW in all the years I had the car the rear wiper has never been used, I do however frequently use Rain-X on all the glass.

Thanks. I’m sure I can find something else to spend money on with my 1st ever Porsche, lol.

You'll find plenty of guidance around her to help spend your money around here ;-)

I’ll take you up on that offer. Let’s talk tires, looking for basic guidance. 2003 c4s. Will be driving year round so need advice on winter and summer tires. Mostly weekend rides in ny/nj/pa region with occasional track days. I’m sure prices run the spectrum but don’t know how to judge what’s right and what’s overkill.

Thanks
