I dont use anything on my rear window and I have no wiper, but I never have any problem seeing out of it.

After backing into a post I'd have imagined reducing your rear visibility is the last thing you want to be doing...

if you want to see out your back window but have no wiper then you'll just have to wash it won't you.
looks good mate, i want to do this to my focus but i could only find gromits up to 22mm in diameter.

Took mine off on the golf and the back window gets so dirty its a joke.
I took it off because the motor was seized so wasn't much point it being there
Winter probably wasn't the best time to do it though tbf but does look better without

I see the point if you can smooth is like on a corsa, doesnt the grommet look worse than a wiper? does to me

You really need to get one of those grommets that actually sits in the hole and looks like it is a piece of the window, saw them in a venommotorsport advert ...
De badge it aswell and it will look very very good
