Hi,
Does anyone out there have an RS Liftback with a rear wiper. If so, was it a factory order and how much?

I do, it was a factory order and I think it was under a couple of hundred dollars... -

It had to be factory ordered. All Liftbacks from January 2010 production have this feature as standard.Heath Eustace... Sales Manager - Bayford Skoda Preston, VicComment

Umm, mine was Feb 2010 production, but was still an option. What a bummer

Thanks for those replies. I find it surprising that it wasn't a standard feature as every hatchback has a rear wiper. I think it is an important safety feature.

Now that I've been driving mine in the rain for a month or two and the dust for 3 or 4 months I don't think it's an issue.
The rear window doesn't get dirty like a hatch because the shape of the car is more sedan like. I have never felt the need to clean the back window yet other than during normal washing of the car.
I would probably never have used a rear wiper so far if I had one fitted.Comment

To be different, I'm glad I fitted mine. Last week, driving in the heavy rain here in Sydney, it was a godsend!Comment

I had a Mondeo previously and it had a rear wiper, it's great for quickly clearing dew when you need to back out of the driveway etc in the morning, I miss having one on the RS.Comment

I just use rain-X on the side & rear windows.
I reverse into my driveway (safety thing with kids) and dew on the rear window in th emorning isn't an issue & it soon "blows" off and allows a view out the back.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

Good thought with the Rain-X, I'd never thought of using it on the rear window.Comment
