fc's without rear whiper... different hatch?

Hi guys!

simple question... i like the way the FC looks without the rear whiper + motor (its only wheight )

so, mine has the rear whiper... i wanna get it out and block the hole with something off...
how is that done on fc's which come without rear whipers? do they have a different hatch without the mounting hole for the wiper?

yeah they are different hatches. you can take the wiper and motor out and just tape up the backside. ghetto but it works for my brother i guess.

Go to a bone yard and find a 7 without the wiper on the rear hatch and switch it out. It's easy, it exactly what I did.

find a piggyback with a black rubber stopper the same size as the whole for the wiper. Take off the wiper and plug up the hole.

So I had an idea, the only reason I don't like the wiper is because it stays in the up position, if it stayed on the down position like most suvs/vans, I wouldn't mind it.

I could take it off and move it but then it would move down towards the wing when turned on. Is there any way to reverse the motor?

with the blade in the down position you are definitely going to affect aerodynamics on the rear of the car. If you have a rear spoiler you will be negating it's functionality. I'd just do some pick-n-pull scavenging and find a hatch w/out the wiper/motor.
