I have been used to driving hatches and waggons for a while, like 25 years.

Now I have quite a good MR30 for my daily drive I am thinking about fitting a rear wiper/washer.

Has any one attempted this? If so with what?

There are plenty of rice bowls at the wreckers from which to get parts.

you will need a HR or DR30 import 4 door rear glass, and all the associated bits.

it is definitly possible, but really only way to do it is the factory bits from the imports....

lotsa mucking around thats for sure.

it woud be easy to set up a small 'spoiler' in the top of the rear window that deflects the airstream downwards to blast te water away.... alot easier i woul think than seeing if a rear glass can be removed without breaking!

Must be a 4 door import glass as nothing else fits.

Might be easier flying to the moon than finding the bits in Oz, but if I was attempting such an exercise, I would be trying to immitate the imports and get a hole cut in the bottom of the glass, but if it breaks your in more trouble than it's worth.

Cheers, D

MMMmmmmm. Seems abit difficult, although it is not a problem to drill a hole in the rear window.

The sedan has a nice louvre at the back and a stop light mounted on the parcel shelf.

Too true Dennis!

Something a bit more 'down-to earth' :P would be buying an import sedan - they can be had with L20ET, FJ20E and FJ20ET auto or manual and come with the aforementioned wiper

(what more could you want?!?!)

You married that poor girl yet Ben?

Excuse the OT...

When we last met at Wakefield Park the Stagea was 'something different' - now it's the family car!

(yes we are married, with child)

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
