How hard is it to retro fit the rear wiper? Have installed a 97 boot lid and spoiler on a 94 car that did not have a spoiler. Am I better off just disconnecting the parcel shelf brake light and doing without the rear wiper? My other 94 soarer has a rear wiper. Cheers.

If you don't mind the expenses, it's a walk in the park.
I converted to a rear wiper window last year on my UZZ31, as I was also fond of having one again after owning a JZZ30 with it. I scored most parts cheaply thanks to a couple of forum members. I can't remember exactly what I paid but this list might assist you along the way if you decide to:
Rear window + wiper & motor (under $100) Combination switches (under $50) Wiper control box (under $40) Parcel shelf + finishing trim piece (under $50)
Then it was something in the vicinity of $180 for the glass removal & installation + tinting.
It was all plug & play on my '92. I still haven't ran the rubber hose line for the rear washer on mine but will one day so that it's 100% complete.
Cheers, Mike
