I think it does make the rear look alot better but I would prefer to keep the wiper. I drive all sorts of length and shaped vans day in day in and out in and around London so driving with only side mirrors is not a problem. The trouble with most hatchbacks is the rate water and crap gets thrown up the back of the car, especially during or after a good downpour and especially on the motorways, so I prefer to have it. On a saloon and the like the rear window doesn't suffer as bad so it doesn't require one, thats why these cars don't tend to have them fitted. So as much as I prefer the de wipered look I'd rather keep mine for the type and amount of driving I do. If I just pottered about town I would probably do it but as I do alot of motorway miles and long drives I require one.
