Back window wiper? does anyone else have one? Or were they a thing on the early 3rd gen and then they realized they are ugly as hell and not really needed. Cuz I think I'm going to take mine off and plug the hole this summer.

If I had one I'd keep it. Kinda cool in a weird way.

I think only optioned on like 82-86 cars.

Mine used to have one...I have the tab on my roof. The Hatch itself was swapped at some point in the life of the car to one without.

They do. Xophertony (I think) told me once that they were prone to leaking though and would beed onto the headliner.

yeah, the hoses would pop off of the nipple on the inside of the roof. then everytime you hit the "washer" button you would spray water into your headliner. i read about it in the "history/restoration" board on TGO a while back. you could of course use a hoseclamp to solve this problem.

as gay as they look, they're actually useful

but if it wasn't stock don't mess with trying to add one

as long as it's on a bird you can hardly see them (from the rear anyway). on camaros they kinda stand out.

Yeah, I really don't like it. I never use it anyways, I mean the only time I look back is to see how far back a ricer or mustang is anyways. and they aren't worth looking at. Razz

How's it activated? Have a picture?

It doesn't even work, I might be able to get it to work if I worked at it, but its not worth it to me. So its gettin the boot! Plus it makes the car look more streamline Cool

on the 82-90 (or whenever the "iansane's car" style dash came into play) they had a switch on the dash with three buttons, like the foglight or rear defrost. i have one at home i will take a pic of. i don't know if they were offered in 90+ modles.

My dash IS the 90+ style. Smile

I think that they stopped the wiper in 86 or something.
