rear window wiper mod?

i know the visibility already sucks out of our rear windows (i own LS and have issues, couldn't imagine SS with that wing!)...well now that fall and winter are rolling around i am finding the window virtually useless with water on it....anyone working on a rear window mod? or know of anything in the works? How much would it REALLY take to do? Is it plausible?

Not sure about that. It would not be incredibly hard, but would require a bit of ingenuity.

Rain X...I use it on all my windows, hardly even the need for wipers...once you get moving.

Rain X is a great product. The water just rolls off. Sometimes you don't even need your wipers.

also, hit the defroster butten. not only does it break up frost, but it also helps clear the water in just a couple minutes.

you know, in the rain, you shouldn't be worried about the cars behind you, but the cars in front of you......

Jeezums I couldn't do a rear wiper, it'd take up even more visibility under the wing. I don't have any problems with mine, the water isn't a problem at all.

Glad someone besides me wishes this car had a rear wiper. I use rain-x on the windows but I still wish it had a wiper... it'll be a pain clearing frost/snow in the winter.

Rain-x is by far the best car product ever!

I always park somewhere where nobody else can park next to me on at least one side

People don't drive down the street in reverse looking for a parking spot. Plus a real driver can back up using mirrors like you're suppose to.
