Rear wiper

Anyone ever fitted or heard of anyone fitting a rear wiper to a saloon?

This may be something possible with OE parts if they ever bring the NAC or SAIC one over here.

Steven, I think this has been discussed on here before, but it could have been on the "dark side".

Personally, I've never seen the need for one on a saloon, my rear screen seems to get clear when driving, rather than get dirty, and a quick wipe before I set off deals with the built up raindrops.

I'd be interested to see what it looks like, though, but I'm not volunteering my car as a testbed!!!!

I've also treated the rear window with some RainX, which helps.

Havn't heard of it on a saloon but I think one would be worth a go Steven I drove my saloon a lot of miles in all conditions and the rear screens do get dirty in poor conditions.
The wiper on my Tourer is great. There are a lot of hatch backs around with rear wipers that do not have a flat vertical screen so think it's worth a try.

There are a few saloons around with rear wipers but it's quite rare. The problem is that all the ones I've seen had a custom hole through the glass for the wiper blade.

It's something that Roawe have done with the Olympic special addition of the 750.
