    hey thats a damn good question wouldnt mind knowing that meself, i dont see why it would be illegal as not all cars come with one obviously but maybe cause it came from factory they will consider it 'illegal' to remove it, i dunno

    i have removed mine, with both holes now cleanly covered up (not bungs in them) i dont know if police would actually know it came out with one...

    i also took the risk due to the fact that the gtv levin didnt come with one in japan... and now importing them doesnt require a wiper for the compliance...

    its a pretty slim risk, and in my hundreds of times being pulled over i have never been questioned about it
    I started the ball rolling...

    i would just take the risk
    if you did get defected for other reason(ie cop has it in for you). the inspection centre will probably pick up on it.
    im sure it wont be too hard to borrow a hatch off someone if it comes down to it.

    Ooh yeah love that smooth ass

    I haven't had any problems legally and besides... with the angle the hatch is on, water simply runs off anyway (speed helps ).

    I don't see why they would get you for that unless they haven't been getting some at home
