RS Liftback Rear Wiper?

[Comegetsome]

Hi,

Does anyone out there have an RS Liftback with a rear wiper. If so, was it a factory order and how much?

I do, it was a factory order and I think it was under a couple of hundred dollars...

It's listed as an option on the current FL model.

Mine was factory ordered, paid $180 for it

It had to be factory ordered. All Liftbacks from January 2010 production have this feature as standard.

Umm, mine was Feb 2010 production, but was still an option. What a bummer

Thanks for those replies. I find it surprising that it wasn't a standard feature as every hatchback has a rear wiper. I think it is an important safety feature.

Now that I've been driving mine in the rain for a month or two and the dust for 3 or 4 months I don't think it's an issue.
The rear window doesn't get dirty like a hatch because the shape of the car is more sedan like. I have never felt the need to clean the back window yet other than during normal washing of the car.
I would probably never have used a rear wiper so far if I had one fitted.

To be different, I'm glad I fitted mine. Last week, driving in the heavy rain here in Sydney, it was a godsend!

That was when I wish I had one
