I dont see how removing the rear wiper is illegal. It's not even mandatory for the manufacturer to put it there in the first place.

 

HELP! The other day I saw a posting >somewhere< on this forum with detailed directions how to access the rear wiper motor, and change the lever position so the wiper rests in a verticle rather than horizontal position...which decreases the amount of dust and crud that otherwise accumulates on the horizontal blade.

I'm ready to do this, but have just spent over a half hour searching in vein for the post. I even think it was a sticky!

Can someone post a link to, or menu chain down to the article? Thanks,
