Can I Put A Rear Window Wiper In?

My car did not come with this option. Is it possibe to install one? I do not want the washer fluid bottle, just the wiper. What will I need? A switch and the motor as well as the arm, anything else?

the glass for the hatch with hole for the wiper.

but you should just use rain-x on the window, tha back wiper kind of sucks, i hardly ever use it.

Looks like Rain-X it is! A new hatch is too much to jack with! I will hit a few local junkyards, and see if I can find one, but if not, screw it! Thanks guys!

It's what, 6 bolts and two people? I don't think it's really that hard to switch rear hatches if you cna find one in good shape.

Mazdasurplus.com had the rear glass and the frame for pretty cheap...less than $100.00. This was a week or so ago.

I will trade you my rear glass with wiper and motor for your hatch. You just have to pay for shipping from texas to Atlanta both ways.
