As usual, while washing the Prius the other day, I removed the little plastic cover that goes over the rear wiper. You know the piece I'm talking about - the cover that once removed, allows you to lift the rear wiper completely off the window for easy cleaning.
After closely examining the plastic cover, it looks like there's a little tab that prevents the raising of the wiper.
What are the implications of whipping out the Dremel and zipping off that tab? Is the rear wiper in danger of lifting off the window at high speeds? I doubt it - the car's a little too aerodynamic for that to happen!
Is the only concern that a large rotating brush at the car wash will tear the wiper clean off? I doubt a little plastic tab would prevent that from happening.
Any of you Gurus have any furthur insight into this? My Dremel's on standby...
