Matt H Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 1. I think pretty much all saloon cars ive seen dont have rear windscreen wipers, why is this?! surely water lands on them just as much as hatchbacks? 2. 4x4's, in the variety of the shogun, and that smaller landrover (think its the freelander) form of car etc etc. They have what appears to be full rear light clusters, like a car, but all the lights are actually in a shitty strip at the bottom in the rear bumper?! Whats up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I've seen an orion and another saloon with a rear wiper and it just looks all wrong. When you are on the move you don't get so much rain on the back window as a hatch back. 4X4's are terrible for water on the back window. As for the light clusters on the likes of the freelander I have no idea why they stick the damn brake lights so low either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 As for the light clusters on the likes of the freelander I have no idea why they stick the damn brake lights so low either. Probably so they dazzle the driver behind less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Not much use if you can't see the damn things at all they are that low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Our Beemer is a coupe and has no rear wiper. What a PITA when it's raining and the car has been still! Although it would look shite with a wiper too.... I may yet employ a young phillipino boy to give it a wipe every now and then, he could live in the boot.... H.
