Thanks Tom ... You've got great looking ride as well! Unlike Ferris B., I'm guessing you don't leave your car with questionable car attendants

Had a pretty heavy downpour the other day and I actually appreciated having the rear wiper doing it's thing during the drive

Hello from New Delhi, India. I have the rear wiper which is very useful during the monsoon season, and also another rarely ordered option, the polished window trim.

I love the rear wiper especially for a daily driver here in the Denver area.

Good in winter too. Of course it's nothing like your winter in North America, our winter stays above 1degree centigrade, but summer crosses 45-47.

thanks. I think 911s look best in solid colours with polished trim because they still retain the rounded shape from the 60s.

I really don't like the rear wiper on ANY recent 911, but it looks the absolute worst on the Targas. It looks like it just happened to fall on the glass. It really takes away from an otherwise beautiful car.

As I picked up my car yesterday from the PPF and window film install, the window film installer explained how much the rear wiper complicated the install but in the end it came out fine

[For the record, I had Suntek CoolSight film installed on everything but the front windshield as I didn't want any additional tint but I wanted to improve the UV/IR reduction, the IR reduction isn't as good (roughly half) as I could have gotten with the Suntek CIR film but then I would have had to use a tint (likely 40 as the lighter CIR films tend to look strange under the sun).]

Damn neat!
Never see them in Japan, and wanted one on my Cayman too.

I love the utility of a rear wiper, nothing says drive more than that.
Who cares about looks, it is about function over form.
Buy a Ferrari, leave it in the garage if you want to sit inside when it rains and snows...
