Rear wiper or not ?

[Lybaek]

The rear wiper is a no-cost option here in Australia.

I think it looks better without it but my wife reckons I will regret not having it

A clear no from my side!

I agree, the car looks more slick and streamline without a wiper. Rain repellent works wonders at clearing the glass above a certain speed. I always carry a window squeegee in the car for any eventuality that the rear screen may need a quick clean..

Don’t have it, don’t miss it

Tonight it’s rainy, droplets accumulating heavily on the rear window: I couldn’t see anything on the rear view mirror.

Drove for 40 minutes, the rear wiper was on for 30 minutes. (!!)

Sure, I could have driven just using my side mirrors… but what a comfort to see what’s right behind me.

People who say they don’t need it either never look back (I was taught to check every few seconds) or don’t realize what they’re missing out on.

Not on mine… don’t really miss it functionally. Don’t particularly care for it aesthetically.
