left windshield wiper relocation to hatch?

Anybody ever done this? My hatch motor is done I think because the previous owner tried to remove it and didnt put everything back together properly cuz the inside of the motor is missing parts. But for a cheap repair I thought maybe relocating the driver side wiper to the hatch if it can wire up correctly. If anybody has any insight on this go ahead and school me pretty please there are only two rx7s in any junkyards around here and theyre both missing the motor. I have no idea how to remove it either it looks like a tough one to get to. and yes i know it will probably look stupid with one front wiper adjusted like all the civic ricers have haha. I actually havent seen anybody around here with that mod. thanks for any help

The front wipers are on one linkage. You need to have a working rear wiper motor.

the front wiper motor is too large to fit back there and mounts differently so no.

buy a used one in the for sale section for like $5-10 plus shipping.
