i think there is a thread on replacing the rear wiper arm with one of these smooth sleek numbers, but i can't remeber which can it came from. i thick it was from a VW.
but i don't see why if the motor spindles would be a different size on a lancer compared with the vr4.

The Lancer spindle is a different size. tried this last year

I've got one on my Legnum that looks like that, but it came on the car so I have no idea where it came from.

Dave, look here: http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?60014-body-kit-ID&highlight=wiper+arm (post #11 & 13).

This is a direct fit, but it'll cost some quid if you choose OE parts (was 70 EUR all inc.)

As you have a saloon, you will have the washer nozzle below the wiper arm, correct? Then this will not work as there is not enough space below the Outlander wiper arm + you have to care about the height as the boot lid has to pass the plastic arm!

A friend of mine has done that mod to his 6G Galant and AFAIk he has used a rear wiper arm from a Honda Fit / Jazz as this one has enough space for the washer nozzle. I'll call him this evening and ask for you. ;)

cool thanks stefan :)

Hi Dave! If you want to change the rear wiper on your saloon, then you can take a wiper arm from a Honda Stream. It'll fit the wiper motor from your saloon.

In Germany, the whole wiper assembly inc blade cost around 40 eur.
