Suggestion
I have the rear wiper and wish I could use it to clean the rear window from dirt, not just from rain/snow.

As to the switch n the dash, I plan on using it for a DIY remote garage opener and use the wires in the rear rather than having to rewire.
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.

Mine was removed by the original owner. I still have it. sitting in a box that came with the car. I do find it funny that I have the button and switch inside the car for it though.
I have never had a use for it as when I get moving the water clears right off the rear window.

if anyone wants a rear wiper, i'd love to do a clean install (aka swapping my panel on the back with the hole in it for one that isn't). I will check to see whether it is welded on or just bolted on. If its doable...anyone interested in a swap?
Good point.......I'm sure in the winter climates it is very useful.
As for how it looks that is a personal thing, some like it , some don't.
I just think it clutters up the lines of a beautiful sloping rear end.
LJpete- Mine was also removed by original owner-although I never got it. I like the look without and the colored plug doesn't bothe me.
As to the switch n the dash, I plan on using it for a DIY remote garage opener and use the wires in the rear rather than having to rewire.
just so you know, it's just a wiper. there's no washer. I have the rear wiper and wish I could use it to clean the rear window from dirt, not just from rain/snow.
It's great when you need to back out of tight parking spots at night and the rear window is covered in water droplets. Maybe try Rain-X on the rear window first before going the wiper route?
Rear wipers remind me of minivans. But given that I live in Southern California (I cant remember when it rained last) I just drive the expedition when it rains (it has a rear wiper).
My '04 C2 does not have a rear wiper, and I don't really need one.
Besides, I am old enough and, at the same time, still young enough to be able to wipe my own rear, thank you!
