I've never really seen the point in dewipering? I could understand it from a weight point of view, getting rid of the motor, but it doesnt really look much different in my opinion...________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

It makes a massive improvement if you actually look at it before and after doing it. Not only that, my tired old tailgate struts can now lift the bootlid all the way up witht he weight of the motor absent. |

Have to agree that de-wipering the rear of a 306 does look a bit smarter than having the wiper attached.I did mine a month or two ago because mine didn't work, and I think it looks 10x better without the wiper  ________________________________________ JAMMA "M44YHW" MAYHEWLOSE WEIGHT NOW - ASK ME HOW - NUTRI-FIX GTi6 LPG, The best of both worlds! 2006: 1997 R reg 306 1.4 Miami - Diablo Red - DEAD 2007: 1999 V reg 306 1.4 Meridian - Diablo Red - SOLD 2007-09: 1998 S reg 306 GTi6 - Diablo Red - DEAD 2009-10: 1998 R reg Corsa 1.2 - Blue - SOLD 2010-13: 2001 Y reg 306 GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red - DEAD 2013 - 2013: 2000 X reg GTi6 LPG - Moonstone Blue - DEAD 2013 - current: 2001 X reg GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red ]FOR SALE[/b] "I LIVE FOR THE 306" |

Yep, never use the rear wiper anyway, rain-x does the job between the weekly washes. |

Rear wiper ftw tbh, the 306 soaks it's own back window in heavy rain so i'd rather have the wiper thanks.Dewipering is right up there with monowiper conversions for me. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

All 406 coupes for example do not even have a place for a rear wiper to go. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

They pulled me over because I was going a ''bit fast''. I rewipered it so I can see what is behind me better.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
