Don't think it works so well on the back windscreen as there isn't the same airflow as the front, infact there's very little airflow at all, more of a vacuum.

yeah it annoys me that, they say they dont do rear wipers for saloon cars because of the natural aerodynamics will clear it at speeds of 20mph upwards...??

no it doesn't!!

the one thing i actually miss from my corsa was being able to see out the back, as soon as i got in and hit the switch!!

Wiper not needed on a saloon, as aerodynamics mean it won't get dirty like hatches and estates.

Rainx on the back helps, but not a lot i'm afraid :(

Rainx on threar window does not do much I have tried alsorts but unless you pyhsical move rain or what ever from the rear window it stay there no matter how fast or slow you drive I have one of those rubber blade things in the boot its supposed to be for drying the car off after washing it but it is good for th back window if not a lot else  :-/

Three solid headrests and an OOF sticker means I don't even look out the back window anymore  ;D

Spent too many years driving vans without rear windows, so rarely seem to use rear view mirror...

Mine's always got dew on it in the morning. It's a real pain reversing out of the drive. I miss having a wiper. And I've just thrown out an old set of wiper blades. Should have chucked one in the boot so I can give it a wipe when I lob my bag in the back.

I think the point being made is, that if you reverse in, you wil then be driving out forwards & will then have wipers in front of you.  ;)  ;)  :y
