hmmm interesting. that's about the same size as the visor that is used on the back of a ford ranger rear sliding glass window for a rain guard. a little heat would form it right up.

Just to clarify, not all came with Soarers came with rear window wipers, from all I know they were only available with the rear spoiler as a combo. My friend's got a JZZ31 Soarer 3.0GT (your SC300) and he doesn't have a rear spoiler nor rear wiper.

The rear spoiler w/ the wiper combo is to replace the third brake light requirement., which w/o
the spoiler is placed at the rear deck.

Using that logic we not work.
Applying a flat piece to compound curve, like that of the rear SC window will result in the piece to bow up in the middle (The physics of Geometry), you will not achieve the flat line look in the attached picutre provide by lexcoupe.

Taking the heat into consideration will only work to get it to form around the edge of the window, but it would cause the tailing edge to bow upward.

I think it looks dopey, so does the wiper, I love the smooth lines of the rear portion of the roofline - you don't need the wiper, if your rear window isn't clear when driving in the rain, you haven't reached critical slipstream velocity, drive faster
