Suggestion

When getting started, a quick swipe, particularly at night in the rain, makes for safer (and arguably more comfortable) use of the rear view mirror.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

That's the story of the rear wiper to be more specific: The Unlikely Story of How Porsche DNA Probably Ended Up On Your Car | Petrolicious I don't see people opting for it nowadays, though.

POST 2Original post

Good read. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if you have opted for the rear wipers in your Turbo? If it was me, I think I would have spent the additional cost on some other cosmetic option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 3Original post

That's because its not needed. The aero has changed. At any kind of speed, the water just disappears. Put some RainX on the rear window and the water rolls off. Times change, technology changes. It's not just that some people don't like it cosmetically but rather its just not needed. The other day I was on the highway moving down the road in a monsoon rain and the rear window was fine. Now SUVs - totally different.

POST 5Original post

The rear wiper is useless on the average car today. Vans and SUVs are a different story.

POST 6Original post

I guess it's van shaped... but I used the one on my Mazdaspeed3 all the time. It was useful.

POST 7Original post

"Needed"? No. "Useless," also no. When getting started, a quick swipe, particularly at night in the rain, makes for safer (and arguably more comfortable) use of the rear view mirror. No regrets having ordered this inexpensive option. I use it infrequently, but when I do it always puts a smile on my face. (Perhaps it's far more useful here in Puddletown [Portland OR] than in many other places, so maybe location should be factored into any consideration about ordering the rear wiper or not. And . . . as the article says, the option of a rear wiper is part of Porsche culture.

POST 8Original post

Loved the reminder about the 914: rear window is tucked under the targa bar so it never even gets wet!
