did some model FDs have nor rear wiper?

If so how does the FD hold up in rain w/o a rear wiper?

Thanks peepz

 

most didn't ...everything but tourings...I have no issues w/o one

 

wow, that is something I nver noticed

What will I have to go through to remove it? I'm getting a paint job in a few months and I watned to get the antenna and rear wiper shaved off while I'm at it.

 

Mine is a base and it doesnt have one. I think it looks better that way.

 

I have a touring and I do have a rear wiper.

 

I got an R1, no rear wiper.

 

Ok let's get something straight. All Tourings and Base's (usuallu) with a wiper in stock form. R1's do not for 2 reasons. 1) Distracts from R1 styling and 2) weight savings.

 

The Touring model is the one with it as a "stock" item.
The base model does not have one, but you could get one.
I don't even see the need for one, personally. The airflow and curvature of the glass means you get very little water that stays on it. And if you use a little RAIN-X or equivalent, no problem at all!

 

Got an R2, and it does not come standard. No R-model did. I like it w/o it look cleaner to me. The rain x works great. I never need to wipe while driving or anything pretty much your preference on the wiper....

 

Baja is right. The Touring is the only model that came with it. The PEP and PEG's don't even have it.

 

I have a touring and I removed mine! I think it looks funny on such a pretty car!

 

Yeah, they look a bit dopey. Glad my R1 doesn't have one. I don't think any of them should have had them.

 

Oh ya, no wiper hear and no visibility problems at all, except for the headlights

 

I guess I do look rearward sometimes to see all the Honda boys!

No wiper for my base. One less thing to break and less wiper fluid in the back.

 

so all you guys that say no rear wiper, no problem; Have you guys ever driven in heavy or medium rain? Would it still be a problem

I know alot of you guys on the forum don't have the rx as daily driver

 

94 vr base.. no rear wiper.. and i wouldnt know how an fd would hold up in the rain.. i never drive it in it

 

Daily driver here! I hate driving in the rain but have been caught in several huge t-storms and it's not a problem at all. I think the aerodynamics play a big role.

Sure, a wiper would be better but if the rains get to heavy, you should keep your eye on the road in front of you.

 

Having no rear wiper dosnt have any negative effects that i have incountered. i kinda like the way they look, but i guess im few and far between with that comment.

 

WRONG.

Tourings only. No Base models, R1, R1, PEG, PEP have rear wipers.

A rear wiper IS NOT an option on any model, standard on Tourings ONLY.
