I don't have a wiper, and I've never felt a need to have one. I do have a garage, so the morning dew isn't a big deal.

I personally love the rear wiper. It's extra weight and all, but it is nice in the rain or snow.

eggsactly, one of the things that made me like the evo that much more was the rear wiper. When my car was parked over time I always had to wipe my hand across the rear window to get the snow off. With the evo it's just a flip of a switch. Also it helps a lot when my car is parked in the rain and I have to back out.

I really like the rear wiper. To me, the wiper is almost like the headlight adjusters - neither is truly necessary, but both add to the car's flair, to its functionality and to the joy of ownership.

It's to say goodbye to the people you are flying by.

I use mine pretty often. Love it.

I should turn the sprayer around to discourage tailgaters.

That thing is rocket powered too. If I use it while I'm stopped, it lands on my windshield. >_<

I love it too. All my cars have one and when I drive a car that doesn't, and it's raining or snowing, I get pissed. It's one of those things you don't realize hoe useful they are until you have one.
