i am curious, do i have to have the rear window wiper on my car to pass inspection? i live in nc, i was thinking that if it came from the factory it has to have it, is that correct? thanks for your time

 

i've only seen them on euro spec 240sx (200sx in europe). definitely not required for inspection, though. did yours come with it? what model year?

EDIT: let me clarify: on the S14s (still dunno different body styles for euro) i've seen them on every euro. dunno about S13s in europe

 

well im in usa and its s13 so im still not sure if i need it or not

 

ALL s13 hatchbacks have rear window wipers, and no ,you don't need them to pass inspection.

 

SE hatchbacks only

 

sorry to threadjack, but does anybody know if i can get one for my 95 USDM s14? i think it looks cool on the euro spec. i saw it on an R33 and liked it and vowed myself to mod mine to have one, then saw the euro spec and figured it wouldnt be too hard. prices too. please

 

youll have better luck on a euro 200sx forum... gl cutting the glass =/

 

as RE said, only the "SE" model 240sx S13s came with the rear window wiper the base models did not, so it is completely fine if you do not have one.
Personally, I think it should have been standard equipment.
Especially how the hatch glass is at such a sharp angle.

 

since i dont have to have it i am going to remove it, the guy i bought the car from a couple a months ago removed the switch for the rear window wiper for some reason, and i tested to see if it would work if i got a new switch and the wiper motor must be used up. besides i think it looks ugly w/ it. thanks for the info though

 

Dude my car doesnt have a rear wiper, the hatch was replaced with a wiperless hatch, and while it does look better I wish it was still there. Its like a lifesaver in the rain, especially when the glass is dirty.

 

only SE S13 hatches.

foam wing and all

 

Stryofoam Cup Wing A.K.A. Water Holders that make Rust holes

 

i was lucky when i removed the spoiler i only had a little bit of rust, its looking better already w/ out that now if i get the wiper off and get ride of the antenna i will be doing good

 

^^^ just weld in the wiper and third brake light holes and rock the clean hatch look!! BTW the third brake light is not needed to pass inspection either (before you ask)

 

i think thats what i may do! thanks for the info
