I had one on my fully loaded 83 Trans-Am, i hated the way it wrecked the lines of the car. I always wanted to get rid of it but never did. after the jerk smashed into that car, it got parted and my buddy put the whole rear hatch with the wiper on his 84. And i still don't like the way it looks. but at least his car doesn't have the spray nozzle sticking off the roof.

The rear wiper/washer was standard on the S/E, optional on the T/A & base model birds. not sure about the camaro's.
I like mine, hey I live in WASHington
I have the rear spoiler so the wiper does not stand out like it does on a bare hatch. Without a spoiler the wiper does kinda stickout like a sore thumb

Never noticed that, but it's true, it does help take the attention away from it. I really wish I had one (no squirter though). It sure would come in handy up here in New England!
What feeds the rear squirter? Is there a seperate reservoir and washer fluid pump in the rear, or is it all run off of the front??? Even after they did away with the rear wiper, they still used the rear hatch glass that was cut for it. We have parted out 3-4 newer than '86 Camaros and the hatch glass is cut for the wiper motor and wiper shaft......
The same reservoir for the front wipers feeds the rear wiper. There is a small pump located on the drivers side/rear of the engine compartment.
That is a great idea.....run liquid thru cheap rubber lines thru the body of the car..... I LUV GM.... I bet it REALLY sux when one of those lines dryrots out.......
