Yer I initially tried this - but wasn't the right size for some reason.

you need to cut the bits that stick out the back of it off and stick it to the window with black sealer

Oh right. I just found a gromet that was perfect fit, so didn't have to use any sealer

either way you choose will work, tidys up the rear a bit and adds smoothness

no offence or anything guys but what's the point of getting rid of the rear wiper? I mean dont you guys use the rear wiper when it's raining? What do you do when it's raining heavy?

put rain x on the back window and because its near verticle the rain just runs off.

not all cars have rear wipers anyway

depends how much you drive - I'd have to rain X and clean it all the bloody time if I got rid of the wiper! 2 days and the rear window is covered in light dirt, and it's impossible to see out of when the sun is low. pretty dangerous on motorways.
