Never knew the rear wiper activated automatically in reverse when the front wipers were on until I drove my wife's Fit. Gotta find a silicone blade though, I've had to replace the insert twice in one year, seems to deteriorate very quickly since it sits so much.

Last Civic I had with a rear wiper was my 1991 CRX Si, really should have kept it.....both the wiper and the Si

Do you know if the Cobb wiper delete works for the Type R? I can’t find a size on the website
I do not know if the Cobb wiper delete works. You could ask them. The dimension for the one I used is listed on the website you might just need to convert mm to whatever they are using.

You can get 1” rubber plugs from the hardware store. Pop it in.

Just got this done. Looks much cleaner with out the wiper. I removed the entire wiper motor and with that, my third brake like doesn’t work. Checking the Florida laws to see if 3rd brake light is needed. Read somewhere that the car needs TWO working brake lights.

The third brake light is required in CA.

You might want to check your wiring connections. I removed the wiper motor as well, and still have a 3rd brake light:

I'm waiting for Flush Wiper delete kit from KillAllWipers.com
But meanwhile I have question
Does the FK8 Type R Limited Edition have different tailgate inner lining? that doesn't have the wiper motor cover "box" ? (see the picture attached)
If so, does anyone know the part number for LE lining?

And another question, not in the right topic, but does anyone know where I can find a plug for center rear view mirror base, as I have removed rear view mirror as well

Type R LE uses the same tailgate trim panel as every other hatchback, 84431-TGG-A11ZA. I also checked if the LE uses the same tailgate as the regular CTR but it is a different part number. I’m not sure what the difference is; I thought the LE would be missing the bracket that the wiper motor bolts on to but in the parts drawing, that bracket is still there.
