But that's not due to the rear wiper

Sure, but since a sedan has a smoother flow at its rear end, a wiper is often pointed as unnecessary.

updates. water pump bearings collapsed. got repaired. then welsh plug failed. got that replaced. car is going into retirement. ok not really but this car has 200k kms on and reliability lately is becoming a problem. going to let the wife use it from now on her drive is about a third distance that i do. which means the car is 3 times less likely to break down. i will be using my other car that she usually uses. A 2007 2L MT Huyndai Tucson. will be starting a thread on it soon.

that's one way to not get caught on the side of the road: let someone else drive it. I would fix it first.
