This seems to be the biggest inconvenience in regards to getting the "Assembled Vehicle" approval before registration. I know quite a few people install wipers, but I don't want to. I can't see a scenario where I actually would need wipers in an open top car that would be driven during leisure time.

How has everyone dealt with this? How many have passed muster with a clamp-on style wiper? Technically, does the code says it has to have "a windshield wiper" or "...wipers"?
