Personally I think it looks way better with it off and I want to do mine when i can find a grommet, but its down to personal preference at the end of the day. I'm sure many people will agree it looks better without one though.

OI used to wonder why everyone thought this was a major thing to do. But I ended up doing it and its so much better, makes the car look better on the rear and costs pennies....do it

you'll realise how un-needed a rear wiper is once you remove it.
Looks so much smarter without it, and its easier to clean your rear window without it

until you do it, you will never understand how much better life is without a dirt smudging, ugly, pointless back wiper.
