Rear wiper users trying to see out the rear windshield the second there's a spec of dirt or water and they haven't turned on the wiper

Guys I need some help. It's gross and raining out today, and I haven't washed my car in like 3 weeks. I just don't know how I'm ever supposed to see out my rear window.

So if your front window looked like that would you clean it or consider it fine?

fwiw I have no problem with folks doing this, I am just pointing out it does "impair vision". Not as important out the back as the front but look at the back of your car after a road trip in the rain (esp after a snow storm)

However. if you remove the rear window when you remove the wiper....

I have my wiper in the rear and NEVER use it.

If you keep your car clean and wash it often there is no need in using the wiper.

Do none of you live in an area that rains? Or is dusty/dirty? Or where they salt the roads? No matter how clean you keep your car, in many situations salted roads will obscure your rear window in a matter of minutes. Or when it rains and the roads are really dirty my window will get dirty enough so I can only see headlights, no other details. I will go on road trips long enough that my car is spotless when I start but after a couple hours a quick wipe will allow better visibility while I’m driving then a good wipe when I stop for gas.
This topic is laughable with how adamant people get. Some people need a rear wiper so let it go.
