take it off, looks shite when the rear of your car is filthy and you have a clean patch where your wiper has been, rather it all dirty..

mine was fine without, caused no problems..

most of my old cars have never come with the rear wipers or they never worked

but on my current golf gti i love having a working rear wiper. so will be keeping mine on the corsa when its ready but car will never be dirty so no need to worry

I took mine off and got used to it, but tbh it's a pain without one. - Once you refit it you realise this

I leave that on too... Find it wastes loads of petrol though

Anyway. Use your mirrors when it gets really dirty

I've been trying to not use it for the past while to see whats its like, but the car is cleaned regularly anyway so i suppose i might aswell do it

is it hard to refit once taken out??
