Rear wiper is a pain

Hi to all.

I've noticed that when it's raining the rain gets sucked onto the rear screen while driving & I'm forever turning the rear wiper on & off & on & off

Does anyone know of a (reasonably) simple mod to get an intermittant sweep of the rear wiper instead of permanently on or off

I know it's only a small problem, but it really winds me up
Thanks.

I remember buying a wiper timer some time ago for a mk3 cortina from halfords, worth a try, an auto electrician fitted it in the dash in about 20 mins. Good luck, happy motoring.

I treated all the windows on the bongo with rainex, it helps to keep the water from settling on the glass

Hi Linus........is that a Multistrada?
I am not sure the rear wiper issue is that simple. It has been discussed before though!

Athers,

Multistrada...................... I wish

(why is there no emoticon for jealous?)
Thanks for the info & link.
I'm wondering whether Beachguild ever got round to fitting one & if it went well

No - still on the ToDo
I've been too busy going on holiday, organising 9th birthday parties, and setting up new bikes (the last two are related)

I thought you should try and stop inbreeding, before you know it we will all be riding white "Raleigh Choppers" and listening to duelling banjos played on the spokes.
And no before anybody else mentions my picture!

This is the way I intend to do it :-

Quite a simple kit to build - and readily available.
