Here is an ingenious idea for all you hatch back guys that can't see out the rear.



This car is for sale for a mere 25K! Below is a link to the dealer add.

They were an option in the first few years of the 3rd gens,you can see the mist/sprayer nozzle on the roof right above the hatch glass.

Thanks...that is the 1st one I have seen on a 3rd gen in pics or real life.

...and you're a thirdgen owner?

LT1/TA

I believe they came on 82-85 and maybe 86.

A little welding, grinding, filler, and paint - we can fix that right up in a jiffy.

Never saw the point of the rear wiper, but I also don't mind rear window louvers or 5% tint on the hatch. Rearward visibility is overrated.

85 was the last year they were available. I don't believe it would really function well with snow.

It wasn't a well thought out option either. It uses a power window motor. It is noisy and slow. Mine works but in the 30 years I have owned my car I can count on one hand the number of times I have used it.

Code C25,... Rear Wiper Washer was available till sometime in 86.

Unless it's a car that's driven every-day. The rear hatch wiper was one of the best features of my Thirdgen when I first bought it and used the car as a daily driver,... yes - thru the winter. When I was driving my other Thirdgens - without the rear wiper option - I often wished it was installed on those other cars. No; It's not going to push 3" of snow from the hatch, but that's a big piece of glass to have to scrape ice from first thing every morning. Rather than scraping it off I could just hit the defroster button after start-up (warm-up) and then push the Rear Wiper when I got back in and drive away . That rear hatch isn't always the easiest thing to see out of when driving in wet weather & the rear wiper was always a HUGE help.

The rear wiper shown on the car in the first post is mounted WAY wrong,...... the blade should be all the way at the bottom of the glass.

Yes sir! and a proud one to boot!

I just don't know every little option that was offered for only a few yrs. Thanks to you all I am becoming much more knowledgeable on what was available for the different yrs.

I can see where this would be a big help, especially with early morning dew.
I guess there was not enough "call" for this option and that is why it ended mid yr, 86'
