I am considering installing a wiper for the rear windshield. Is this a good idea, and has anyone done this? I have a 2004 Civic EX.

I never needed one on my coupe. If there is rain, it doesnt block visibility of cars at all, and if there is snow, you need to scrape it anyways. Why do you need a wiper back there?

I'd like to have one but wouldn't go through that much trouble for one. I see some Skylines with them and it looks like it would work good.
But maybe it has something to do with me owning my car for 3 years and never having owned a snowbrush nor scraper. I just use the remote start and let it melt off.

when you drive the rain should naturally bead off the rear window, unless you sit in a parking lot all day with your car on, its pointless to have a rear wiper (IMO)

You guys are all talking about rain, am I the only one thinking of snow?

option A - get out and brush it off when it's 45 below outside.
option B - sit inside and turn on the wiper
option C - leave rear wiper on so it works when you start the car from your bed

maybe it will look nice but it barely rains in this city

i was also looking to put a rear wiper in my car
i have a 02 coupe and i've used rain x and its alright for the first few days but after that its just ****
i guess im just use to driving my dads truck but it still annoys me when the rain piles up and its not like clear lol
let me know if u decide to get it done and how it works out for you

Snow is different in different parts of the country. I find it's very wet when you're close to the ocean but when you're farther inland and away from any bodies of water, it's very dry and you can just brush it right off. No scraping.
