Ive seen the rear window wipers on the Evo's and I begin to wonder, WHY?

I can see maybe getting some mud back there, etc, etc, but does the air not flow over the rear window that much to really get ride of any water or rain on the window? Maybe Im missing the point here, or maybe since the rear wing is on the trunk, there is a need for the rear wiper.

Someone care to elaberate for me?

Thanks
Steve

 

Well I use it for when it rains and the car has been sitting I turn it one once to get the water off so i can SEEEEE clearly

 

its rally inspired! its for the mud or dirt!! or what ever you want!

 

on the evo you do need it. Somehow, the aerodynamics of the evo does not shed water from the rear window. I use it quite often whenever it rains.

 

Same here.

 

Makes sense then. I had a feeling it was due to the aerodynamics, so thanks.

 

or snow

 

Its just so I CAN see out the rear window when it wants to precipatates(sp)

 

So if I live in the Desert here in Cali, it's safe to take it off? lol, cause to be honest..I don't even know how to turn it on! lol

 

^WTF? u never used it? anyways, do a search and theres a few ppl selling caps for it.

 

i guess its not necessary, but its nice to have when the back window does get messy

 

If you keep the car clean, that shouldnt happen.

 

you're not serious, i hope. if you are, you should just hand me the keys right now. you probably don't know how to turn on your intercooler water sprays either! (by the way, there's 2 different settings for it)

seriously, if you've ever used your regular wipers once, you should already know how to use the rear ones... they're no different, and they're both within arm's your vision when driving.

 

Dude, i live in Barstow, CA..it rains here like 2 times a year..lol, what the hell do i need wipers for??!! If my window gets dirty I just wash my car..which I do every weekend. So if it's ok with you, i'll just hold on to those keys.

 

when it rains , you turn on the rear wiper and then you can see out the back window
