why don't all cars have rear wipers?

[drum]

What really needs addressed is why don't all cars have wipers on the headlights!!
This would probably reduce the number of crashes in America by at least 1! :laugh:

96 eagle talon has one, and it needs it. It is more of a hatch though.

I think all cars should have it though it would look weird on some passenger cars. Anyway, as an example just this morning there's mist/fog on the rear window because of the temp here. It doesn't matter what kind of vehicle it is. You don't notice it until you're about to back up. Engage a wiper, wait for the rear defrost, or get out of the car? You choose.

Because car design has evolved to have high pressure spray units instead of wipers.
