Default Rear Wiper
Can you add a Rear Wiper to a 997? Doesn't look like you can, but wanted to check to see if anyone knew.

I don't know about adding one after the fact, but I have one on my car that I want off since I don't use it very much.

The rear wiper is too integrated into the design of the car that to retrofit one later would most likely be cost prohibitive.

Since my children past the diaper stage, I decided that I didn't need a "rear wiper!"

I doubt it as it is intergated into a special rear windshield, which would cost more than the $350 option for the rear wiper.

You really do not need a rear wiper on a 911 , why would you want to spoil the flow of the car ?
