Did certain S14s come with rear wipers? Or was the one in the pic added on?

I really wish the S14 had a rear wiper, I find I need it MUCH more than on my S13 hatch. All the water on the S14 rear window just rolls down and SITS there. The S13, once you get up to speed, the water will not even touch the rear window.

Hmm...I've never had a problem with water/rain on the rear windshield of my car, but then again I don't really drive that often in the rain. I personally think the car _looks_ better without it. If water on the rear windshield really bothers you that much you could try using some rain-x or something like that.

been there, done that. it doesn't work. it would work if you were going backwards at 20 mph, haha. i was thinking the same thing you were though when i put it on. all that ends up happening is that the rain beads up on you rear windshield and stays there... it makes it a lot harder to see through and headlights from behind just glare more... basically it kills rear visibility... not a good thing... but yeah... i wish the usdm s14 had rear wipers...

Yeah I guess that would make sense if no air is pushing the water off at all...:p Hmm next time it rains I'm going to have to pay special attention to see if I have this water problem...

if you wanna do a rear wiper conversion, just buy the motor off a s13 or something, and cut into the glass [which id ont reccommend]. or you can go the other route. join a EURO 240 club like nissansilvia.com or sxoc.com or something and ask somebody to sell their rear windshield along with everything else and put it on your car. of course shipping would be expesive as hell
