Rear wiper delete

Want to tidy up the back and the rear wiper delete looks piss easy to do. Got a sharan badge to fit and going to remove the original golf and GTI badge as I have the anni GTI badge to fit.
Want to get peoples thoughts what they think of the rear wiper delete as I'm torn if i like it or not so i'm looking for some peer pressure to sway me either way

I take mine off for the spring/summer months and refit it during autumn/winter. It only takes 10 mins to do, I got sick of not being able to see out of the rear window last winter

That's what I was thinking! I've been trying to not use it to see if it bothers me

Get rid but get a glass delete rather than a rubber bung. Very rare you cannot see out of it, i'd say 95% of the time, unless it is raining heavily, even then you can use your mirrors, as you would in a van.

I couldn't do without the rear wiper, especially as the mornings are getting a bit damp now

I did it, main reason was to stop the rear washer leaking into my boot handle and messing stuff up again!
