How rare are the rear hatch wiper? And what years could you get it?

I seen a red camaro for sale, mid 80's for sale and it had a rear windshield wiper on the hatch. Is this a rare option? What years could you get it? And does anybody here have it?

They were available on 82-85 F-bodies.
Possibly 86 also i forget right now.

I had one on a 83 Trans-am and really did not like it much. i always wanted to take it off and fill in the hole.

But on the other side my buddy put said wiper on his 84 T/A after my 83 was totalled,cause he liked it.

Yeah, I wish I had it too. It kinda sucks in rainy weather.

Damn...I wish my '83 came with it. Actually my neighbor has an '83 firebird they might b parting out...and it has it on there. How would I be able to get it working if I swapped hatches?

Hey Dave, what part of MN are you from? I would look at a map, if I could find it.
