Re: Rear Window Wiper/Washer
David,

Thanks for that information. I know a person that has a yellow 1985 Z28 with the rear wiper and I have never seen many Camaros or Firebirds with that option.

My 85's equipped with the system: rear washer (silly spray nozzle on top of the car near the hatch) and huge wiper. Ugly.

You can see it below the foglight switch.

I don't believe they do. The switch is easy to clean up by painting it if you don't mind losing the lettering. Usually the lettering is so bad that it doesn't matter. I thought of using another switch, however there is nothing else that allows you to turn the wiper on and then to also use the washer fluid. For other switches that people say GM no longer makes, I use this web site. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ The availability and prices are outstanding.
