Rear windshield wiper

Anyone knows where to install rear wind shield wiper or is there alternative? When rain heavily, always can't see cars behind clearly.

use rainX or some rain repellent on the rear windscreen lo. It will help. dun waste money installing a rear wiper even if possible...it will look ugly..IMHO

When heavy rain sugggest you swith on your headlights so others can see you. To add further put some rain repellant on your side mirrors and left/right front door glass near the side mirrors..

i use rainX, it helps...one bottle shld be about $14

My old car has a rear wiper. Is proven to be useless. Like the rest suggested, Rain-X definitely helps. I'm apply Rain-X on all my windows each time I wash my car.

I thought one application of RainX can last you quite a while?

yap... tat RainX is very useful.. the water droplet just "flow" down quickly.. even it's heavy rain.. it helps alot..

But for the front windscreen, do u all apply on it too?? Cos seems to hear some of my friends saying that it will cause the wipers to jitter and also shorten the lifespan of it..

yeah, it causes judder of the wipers. it's happening to me already.,

Yeah, thanks for all the advice bros. Guess i'll just get RainX. Have seen the product or similar ones so many times at giant but didn't buy.

I too apply RainX on all my side windows and rear windscreen. Front is left unapplied due to juttering of wipers.

Thanx for the replies too..Sorry TS if I hijacked it for a while..Converted from a hatchback to a saloon now I kinda not used to having no rear windscreen wiper. When it rains then cant see the back liao cos no wiper to clear the water..

My lousy English.... I tried to say my old car rear wiper is useless.....

Ultimately.... Rain-X works wonderfully.....

Sorry to have caused confusion.

I like rear wiper also. Dont care it is ugly.

If you know where to install this. Let me know.

Seems like a pretty useful & easy applicable product.

hmm.. sorry im not rainX fans.. but I dont mind sharing info..

RainX indeed works very good during rain as it will repel all raindrops away smoothly.. but it's not friendly to 99% wiper..

in long run, u will face problems like wiper jump or keep jittering..

worst if u hate this kind of wiper jump or jittering sound or lower the wiper lifespan due to friction.. after applying rainX.. it is perm there and hardly can be remove unless u compound it.. that is reason why some bros say, 1 time can use very long..

go look ard in the forum.. some ads did bring in rain repel solution here and its temp not perm..

temp is good when u can filled it up in your water tank and whenever u feel no longer repel.. u can just spray and done~

Sorry to those rainX fans.. but just sharing some bad experience I have..

I thought i saw the video said it should apply "inside" the glass??
Then how can it jittering your wiper???

Thats why there are some who only apply RainX to the side windows and rear windshield. Front windshield is not applied.

The video was for the defogging the internal of your car wind screen.

There's another Rain-X for external use.
