I was such a newb.

 

If I'm not mistaken, the rear wiper was a OEM JDM option.

 

Why? water just rolls off the back window anyways.

 

Our car is not a SUV ...

 

seems like the only cars that have it are 2 dr hatchbacks. i wish i had one sometimes when it rains or snows. i wonder how much long it would actually take to install. probably really easy to mount and not too expensive to get the parts.





unfortunately, mine looks it. damn wheel gap!

 

It would look awful in my opinion...any photochopped pics of this might have more people agree with me. Anyone wanna do a quick one and post it?

 

yea...definetly it'll awful. but it'll server the function.

i don't know... just wanna bring it up. cuz i'm really can't really see through my tinted rear window even with my broadway rear view mirror at night.

but yea whatever...

 

I would think the tint is causing more of a problem then water.I dont really have a problem with water effecting my rear view.

 

not worth it. I have a rear windshield wiper on my celica (2dr hatchback) and it's pretty useless. Trust me, the tint is pretty dark on that AND also has a broadway mirror... doesn't make much of a difference.

If you want to talk about not being able to see smoethin outta the back... you should see my rear window (maxima). The tint got all screwed up and it's all hazy and foggy... cant' see crap outta there during the day or nite! I still survive driving!

 

Oh wow....I was the first person to answer your question

 

The Evo 8's have them. Looks nice on them but on a maxima I dunno

 

dood nadir that sounds dangerous

 

your not driving fast enough.....


Really though, sometimes I think about it, normally when switching cars. Sometimes I'm surprised the 5th gen doesnt have one, other times i'd expect my 3rd gen to have one.

I've learned that Rain-X once a month is more than enough to take car of the rain if it does stay on the back window. Normally the only time there is water on the window is in the morning when the car is sitting outside.

If there is snow, well I never use the wind shield wipers to clear the snow/ice off the windows, so thats not much of a problem.

 

Rain-X++.

Btw, I live in Seattle, and I have to say that Rain-X does work 9 months of the year.

 

Well, here in New Zealand, some Maxima's DO come with rear window wipers, 4th and 5th Gens. More common to see them on the 5th though. Mine doesn't have one, but I've often thought it'd be quite useful to have one for when you've parked on a busy street in the rain and the water has pooled on the back window making it impossible to clearly see out of. I've actually found the rear defroster can help speed up the clearing process though

 

How about wipers for the headlights? Those are wicked awesome!
Sorry, I had to.

 

Actually, the UK 3rd Gen Maximas had those.

 

can you get us some pics of any with them?

 

I can get a pic if I have my camera and I see one. I'll throw in close-ups of splattered summer-bugs on the windscreen for free

 

but the 5th gen maximas he's talking about looks like the I30/I35
