I can't believe i missed that thread. Thanks for the link... +reps

I saw Squawking7500's thread https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...it-friend.html and he had it done on his GE8, the motor looks the same as the GD's so it should work...... now to figure out if i want that and what the pros/cons would be.

Well done with your DIY instructions, but seriously I would not consider doing the mod just to make my FiT look JDM.

Having the wiper blade sit in vertical position is creating a unwanted obstruction and/or distraction which is more of a hindrance than anything else; kind of reverse engineering, eh?

As someone also pointed out, cleaning the back window with the wiper blade sitting vertically poses problems when cleaning and/or brushing off snow.
Anyway +reps for your efforts in making your FiT look JDM.

Cool. Suggest you try to arrange a swap for JDM tail lights.
