I suppose the hardest part is the hole in the rear window.
Somebody on 6Speedonline is bragging about just having removed his so the part may be able for purchase.

A good coating on the glass and the rear defrosters got rid of the snow every time. I think one time i used the snow brush.

Winter tires on the other hand are a must!

Good Luck
Thank you. I lived in Michigan for four years and I can tell you that we get NOTHING even close to that here in CT. This makes me hopeful that it won't be a big deal.

Thanks again and enjoy your four months of no snow

1) Aquapel glass coating from Tire Rack
2) OptiCoat 2.0 from Detailers Domain
3) Rain X
None of which work on snowfall.

In Ohio I get along just fine without a rear wiper. Shudder to think what it would cost to install properly.
