I had a Ford Sierra Hatchback that had a wiper, really handy, miss it on saloon cars, I also do not know of any saloons with wipers, all hatchbacks.

Ford Orion is only one I can think of that ever had one.  Reality is, it doesn't need one (saloon window doesn't get dirty), nor will it be possible to get one to work well on it.

most saloons dont have rear wipers....   :-/

I've never owned a saloon car or estate that didn't have a rear wiper.

You'd have to go back to the 1970's for saloons not to have a rear wiper

I cannot recall what saloons in at least the popular ranges had / have rear wipers!

Could you please list them?

One that immediately springs to mind........was the
Ford Orion saloon ....dunno about being popular tho  

Volvo 340 saloon. Mitsubishi carisma.

If you can put a man on the moon in 1969, it should not be beyond the wit of man to fit a rear wiper to a £20-£30,000 premium saloon.

I don't take on board whats been said about aerodynamics, any way, Enzo Ferrari was supposed to have said "Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines" (With regard to slippery cars)

Both hatchbacks only iirc?  Hatchbacks need a wiper to CLEAN window, and the straight (ish) glass makes it easy

Wasn't that the hatchback version? :-/ :-/  My memory may be playing tricks, but my son had a saloon version of the Orion and that didn't have a rear wiper I am sure :-?

Orion saloon did have one.......maybe not all models i dunno......but some if not all orions saloons did have one.......and TB backs me up...so im not dreaming it

Think it was only Ghia and similar models.  I remember it looked daft, and didn't work very effectively - yes, I nearly bought a blue 1.6 Ghia, until mum reminded me the family has bad luck with blue cars (that would explain the tractor!), and that I crash every Escort I get in...

And prolly why i remember it  

[amigov6]

Last car before the Mig was a 51saxo VTR...yeah i know but it did handle...Many prevoius cars had rear wash wipe & i missed it at first but none of my OLD cars had them. The VTR was an impulse mistake which was sold within 6 months, i've had the MIG nearly 2 years & it's a "keeper", says it all really. 8-)

THe Orion was an absolute pile of steaming dog doodoo. A previous job had one as a pool car and it was terrbile
