Hello,

I just bought a '95 ST liftback that does not have a rear wiper. I was at the local salvage yard this week getting upgraded leather seats (the car came with cloth), and I noticed 2 of the 3 6G's had OEM rear wipers. How hard is it to add the rear wiper? Can it easily be done with the original gate, or does the new gate need to be put on? Is the car already wired?

Thanks!

the only reason yours wouldnt have it is if the previous owner removed it. so all the wiring and mounts should still be there. just drill a hole where they covered it up. if you need the parts and dont want to get them at the junk yard I have an extra wiper and motor and what ever else you need.

Interesting, that's the second thing I've been told my gate should have that it doesn't. I also do not have a spoiler/wing of any kind. I will have to pop off the trim cover and check for the wiring and holes. I would LOVE to have the wing and wiper back, especially if it means I don't have to buy a new gate.

At the salvage yard, I noticed there are 3 wire looms that come into the top of the gate. One was on the left, one on the right, and one in the center. Any idea which one is the wiring for the wiper? I didn't even look at the wiper stalk on the steering column, but is it safe to assume Toyota did it's usual thing and put a spinning control "ring" on the wiper arm for the rear wiper?
