Starting this week my journey is much shorter on local roads max speed 30 mph (if I'm lucky). To-day was my first day and just my luck drizzle all day. I do now understand what CH is on about, the rear vision was practically nil as I didn't reach a speed at which the aerodynamics come into play.

I'm not moaning as I have driven normal 4 door cars without rear wipers for years, but I do see the 'Rear Wiper' brigades point of view.

I know i'm blonde...however if u put the rear demister on..it clears it ever so quickly for the start of your journey......and then it ain't a problem

The reason I suggested that a poll might not be good is that it has already been stated that this whole rear wiper cr*p has been done to death and really doesn't need much more discussion. Look what happens when it is mentioned!

Wow, I thought this was supposed to be a bit of fun, no need to throw your wipers out of your pram

Just think Charles, if you had that rear wiper bet the next thing you'd want would be a washer jet

Do you get paid for all those R W posts then Charles - you must be raking it in - always suspected some kind of incentive was incurred.

For a bit of commission I could always help you to keep it going?

Now you can study every detail. pin up on the back of the bathroom door and you should get hours of pleasure

...or blu-tak it to your rear window and pretend it's real. For added effect, draw an arm to extend to the spoiler area.

If you print it out big enough, it will totally obscure the rain that is sitting on the window, so it solves that problem, too!

If you only fix it on one side it will flap about in the wind and thus you have a REAL wiper. Clever or what?

Do they make Red-tak for colour co-ordination?

To Charles Wiper Harding. I find your posts always amusing. Guaranteed a laugh every time.

I suppose it's the little boy syndrome in me.

Most kids want things they can't have.

Im obviously no exception.

If I got one I probably wouldn''t use it anyway!

Don't forget I want a jet washer as well - I've upgraded y'know!

It's not so bad having to work, Charles! Find it keeps my mind off other things, such as the lack of a wiper!
