Rear Wiper Delete Anyone??

Has anyone done a rear wiper delete on their X5M?

To be honest it does do a really good job of blending in and its hardly noticeable but I just wonder if this is something anyone has done as I do not believe I have seen any kits for a delete

I've never seen anything and don't know if it would trigger any codes if you removed the wiper unit.

You'd then need to put a plastic plug of some sort in the glass and possibly have to be concerned about water leaking in.

Just some thoughts.... For me it helps more when the weather is bad then looking bad on the vehicle.

Hey Mate, Have just done this. No Error codes and sooo simple to do looks fantastic also. Currently i have just a rubber gromet in the whol and its doing a good job but i want to make it look a little cleaner so im just looking for a plug. UROTuning have this one im just not sure if it fits

This used to be the hot sh!t back in the day in the VW scene... two plugs and a couple hours on a Saturday morning and you're done but with the way the rear glazing is shaped and with the roof spoiler you're going to get a lot of build up on their and essentially no visibility in the rain let alone the snow but considering you're in SoCal I dont think this will be an issue for you.
