I'm using a spray on product and it seems to do the job beading up rain drops.

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.

POST 1Original post

i think i know what you will all say, but is anyone considering this? its probably a practical option however i see no pics, except for a SY cayman, that have this wiper. just wondering if you guys think it detracts from the lines too much! ps: anyone have an opinion on the Ext Alum Look pkg?

POST 2Original post

I know some like a rear wiper.........but I think it looks very bad on the Cayman, really breaks the smoothness of the car up. I'm not a big fan on the Ext Alum Look pkg........I don't like a lot things thatstand out against a nice paint color........one of the things I like about the Cayman over the Boxster is that the side vents are body colored. But this is all personal taste only.

POST 3Original post

Not only is the wiper unsightly against the window, but it protrudes from the rear hatch that almost makes it look aftermarket. I have never been a fan of the rear window wiper, but that is just my opinion.

POST 4Original post

thanks, i know it looks a bit better w/o it, but for a car that you drive a lot around town its prob necessary..many of the pics of 911's etc all have them, so i imagine they would say its a good thing? with the boxster it was just never an issue. anyone regret not getting a wiper with their hatches? ps: still debating on the ext alum pkg!

POST 5Original post

I've driven a2000 TT Coupe for 85K mi which has a similar sloping rear window. Never had a need for it. However, your location may be a factor. If I were in an area where snow/ice were common, I might consider it...

POST 6Original post

I had a 911 C4S without the rear wiper and I drove it in the ice and snow and rain and never felt like I needed it... oh and I think they are ugly too! /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/taunt.gif

POST 7Original post

I had that ugly rear wiper on my 996. You never even need it in the rain. Looks much better without IMHO

POST 8Original post

If visibility is a concern, one option would be to apply a product similar to Rain-X to the hatch glass. I'm using a spray on product and it seems to do the job beading up rain drops. You just have to keep refreshing the application once in a while to keep it working well. I do it everytime I wax the car. -Pete
