Just like scottinbend said......go to wally world and buy a 2 buck replacement and cut to length. No big deal.

...Les

 

After thinking about this for a while..I believe the best I could expect out of racing even the fastest of the fast, is a tie...That's right, A tie!!! If you dropped me AND the fasted car fron an airplane at 10,000 feet, we would hit the ground at the same time...I'm sure of it...Not to sure I wanna bet on it though.

 

Not a gambling man?

 

I'm guessing any of the supercars (shaped like a wedge) would hit the ground a lot sooner than a vehicle with the frontal profile of a mobile billboard and a terminal velocity in freefall of 100 mph.

Here's my hundred bucks on the table. We can use the Koenigs Egg and your car.

 

im sorry if this is a stupid question. but wat's wally world? O.o

 

ah..wal-mart? i looked on wikpedia.org

 

You could do the custom cut of a WalMart blade or order an OEM one from Classic MINI and get the NAM member discount.

 

First of all, this thread makes my head hurt. Second of all, have you considerer removing the rear wiper all together and popping a cap in the hole in the glass? It looks much cleaner and solves your problem

 

But you know, in the rain, the rear wiper is sorta handy.

Is it a general concensus that any blade will pop in there? Because if that's the case, I'll buy the shortest one I can find the next time I pick up a set and cut it to fit. I just wonder if the bases of all blades are the same (?)...

 

Isn't this actually the Batmobile??

 

Holy smokes Batman!

 

John O'Quinn (born 1941) is a legendary and controversial Texas trial lawyer and a partner at The O'Quinn Law Firm. His firm has made its business handling plaintiff's litigation, including representing clients suing breast implant manufacturers, medical facilities, and tobacco companies.
O'Quinn received a public reprimand in 1989 from the State Bar after a lengthy investigation into allegations that his firm had wrongfully solicited cases. Family members of victims have charged that they were approached by O'Quinn's lawyers, and their agents after a July 2, 1994 USAir jet crash in North Carolina. In 2007, an arbitration panel ruled that O'Quinn had improperly withheld $18.9 million in settlement money from breast implant clients; the federal court overseeing the breast implant litigation issued an order to show cause why O'Quinn should not be held in contempt of court.[1] On July 19, 2007, the same arbitration panel ordered O'Quinn to pay $35.7 million plus attorneys' fees and interest, which could total as much as $60 million.[2]
In August 2005, his $25 million donation to St. Luke's Episcopal Health System's Health, Hope and the Human Spirit capital campaign was coupled with the renaming of their signature medical tower to the O'Quinn Medical Tower. Controversy and protests erupted from the hospital's doctors, who believed O'Quinn had made millions of dollars suing their colleagues. Despite the complaints, the deal was approved by the hospital's board of directors. The library at the University of Houston Law Center was also renamed to O'Quinn Law Library after his donations.
In October 2006, O'Quinn pledged $5 million to Texas Democrat Chris Bell for his gubernatorial campaign [3].
O'Quinn also maintains an extensive collection of collector cars with a total value of over $100 million. In October 2005, he bought Pope John Paul II's 1975 Ford Escort GL (€690,000). In September 2006, he bought a 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo covered with 33 celebrity autographs ($500,000), the Batmobile used in the filming of Batman Forever ($335,000), a 1941 Packard limousine used by President Franklin D. Roosevelt ($290,000), a 1938 Talbot-Lago ($3,350,000), and a 1938 Cadillac Town Car used by Pope Pius XII ($250,000). According to an interview on 20/20 O'Quinn has over 900 cars[4].

(sorry it's so long but this is so you could believe that Mr. O' Quinn lets me drive his cars with him every saturday morning he lives in the Houston area and is a car freak and I drove one of the real Batmobiles and a couple of high end italian sports car ...

 

Popping a cap?
With maybe a sub-sonic .45?
This is one of the more bizarre threads....
Let's see where it goes.

 

wasn't "but seriously now folks" a key part of that? not sure why you guys all thought he was serious...

Hegira- Most places offer the rear wiper as part of a set that goes into a certain car's file. I know at NAPA my Volvo's front and rear wipers are in the same place on the computer when the guy looks it up. Try it out! BTW, my Volvo raced that thing last week! except it was parked

 

hegira,
first off, you must realize that this place has replaced "Short Attention Span Theater".

If you don't get your point off in the first 3 or 4 words, all hope is lost.

The first 5 posts couldn't get past the "I beat a ...."

 

If a little goo-gone doesn't work, try soaking a paper towel with a little rubbing alcohol.

 

 

Drat! And here I was poised with an IB4TL...


Slow kids?


Are you suggesting he pop a cap in his MINI? Are you a rapper?


Oh, yeah, what about the wiper? They're on my dime now...

 

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue....

 

Your speed must have made him lose control.
This is what I saw as I passed him.

Hope your on the track, This is what could happen with
careless street racing.

Keep it safe.

 

Great "Airplane" reference!

 

I bought a replacement rear wiper from my local Car Quest. They did have to order it from their warehouse and I picked it up the next day. Was about 10 bucks IIRC and it was the genuine MINI replacement part in fact.

 

Just tint your rear window "dark" and your wiper worries are over.

 

They can get OEM parts??

That aside - you must be new here. Do you know what we DO to people who stay on topic in a thread like this? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

 

Well, you could use a .45 but you'd probably just end up having to buy a new rear window...

What I meant was when you remove the rear wiper assembly you are left with a hole in the base of the rear glass. I forgot which forum I was posting on so I haphazardly said "pop a cap in the hole in the glass." What I meant was go and buy a plastic plug that fits into the hole in the glass and place it in said hole.

In summation,
Gunshots to rear window to fix rear wiper problem =
Butt plugs to fix the rear wiper problem =
