For my driving, the rear wiper an essential option for coping with winter in the north. When speed is unavailable snow accumulates on the rear window faster than the defroster melts. Had it on a previous Cayman build. Sadly, no washer jet in the rear or mini wiper for the rear camera.
Where do you see that the 992 rear wiper has a washer jet? My 4GTS Coupe build locks in a week and I'm thinking about the rear wiper but having the washer is a big plus; I didn't see this anywhere in the literature. Thanks.
Unless it is new for MY22 it does not have a washer jet. I have a MY21 and no jet.
I ordered my car with a rear wiper; I like the look, think it gives it a classic look. I disagree that it will make the car worth less / harder to sell (doesn't add any value either) and if I should be selling the car myself and if that is going to stop them from buying the car then as far as I am concerned, they can take a hike.
I have a 992 C4S with a rear wiper. Funnily enough when I took it in for a minor service the agent exclaimed, “Oh, you have a rear wiper”! He seemed quite excited. I have never used it :-) Also, it doesn’t have a wash jet function.
Rear wiper would definitely hurt resale value in the US.
Yep for those who only drive on nice sunny days... I still think that not having a washer on it is stupid.
As quoted in the above article:
What would you prefer driving: an automobile displaying tangible and functional evidence of its robust heritage, or a mechanical fair-weather pretty boy?
While I've never had one on any of my former 911's, Ive always respected the rear wiper. I dig it! There where a couple times I do remember thinking I wish I had one. Not many (socal). But a few times!
My 4GTS Coupe build locks this week, I got the rear wiper box checked! Had it on my 981 Cayman GTS. It is classic Porsche and handy as my 992 4GTS will be a 12 month daily driver in New England.

Rear wiper is helpful no doubt. But I don’t need it. Only my 964 has a rear wiper and I’ve never used it. Trying to rid of it actually. I’ve never found it necessary on a 911. The car’s shape and a bit of speed helps keep rear screen clean.
