Rear Wiper - Will the Scout have one?

[NukeDukem]

Lol and here I am about to do a wiper delete on my hatchback. Only time its used is when the car automatically does it while reversing in rain. Its UGLY AS F and i want it gone!

I think if well integrated into the Scout, it might not look as bad as it does on many cars.

I don't want a 4 inch bump attached to my rear-glass.

The one I have is half that.

I feel it should be an option, no wiper is standard and for the rear wiper its extra $$$

Yes, on my wife's Evoque it tucks up hidden under the rear hatch wing. Completely disappears... annoying to change the blade though

Old Scouts never had a rear wiper so it might be a nostalgic thing to not put one. But also with the aero dynamics of the Scout it might not affect the rear glass as much because the way the glass is slopped it might make the water run down naturally.

no slope and aerodynamics will not help much with rain and definitely will do nothing with dirt/snow. its a prototype so they likely left it off. it'd be shocking if they didnt add one.

Y’all only ever drive on trails, never on pavement?! Come on now, you can tell us It’s a safety issue on highways in my mind. I use it all the time on my LandRover LR4, especially when it snows.

I haven't used them much living in Florida and mostly driving on roads. Regularly timed car washing is enough to keep the rear window clear. However, I can see them as almost a necessity in the snow.
