You will need the following bits for a functioning rear wiper on a BE:

1. Rear windscreen from a JDM BE. This glass has a hole in it to accommodate the rear wiper mechanism. It MUST have the hole from the factory, you CANNOT drill tempered glass.
2. BE rear wiper mechanism. This differs slightly from the BH mechanism as the wiper shaft is exactly 1cm longer than the BH one. The bracket is also unique to the BE chassis.
3. Wiper stalk from either a wiper equipped BE or any BH.
4. Rear Wiper Timer Module. The front wiper timer is in the stalk itself, but the rear is a separate module.
5. Associated wiring to connect 2, 3, and 4 together.

If you want a working rear windshield washer, you will also need the following:
6. Windshield Washer Reservoir from a BH or Wiper Equipped BE. The wiring for this is already in your engine bay.
7. The washer fluid hose from a BH or Wiper Equipped BE. This runs in the left side fender into the cabin and along the left side of the car under the fuel lines.


Pretty much any wiper arm will work, but the original BE wiper arm has a bend to go up and over the third brake light.

You posted this as I was writing the above. You *CANNOT* drill your glass, it will shatter.

Your existing rear windshield is tempered glass.

Then unfortunately you will have to import glass from Japan.

That is what I have been trying to do for several months now, it is much easier said than done.

What are you guys talking about? I've got three Subies with rear wiper windshields. Wasn't hard at all! :wink:

[rkrenicki]

Oh, I have a place to get one brand new.. but it will cost $1700 by the time it gets here... That is more than I spent on my wheels..
