    No. Use rain ex & water runs off and screen stays clean. Get it done.

    All the rear window is there for is to see if anything is behnd you! Even if its pouring down, you can still see out, wiper no no wiper!

    Pointless imo. When i can find a way of taking it off the leon. I will.

    Yeeees! When I dewipered my Saxo it was hell - I like to be able to see what's behind me all the time. Never did try that rain ex or wax on the window though.
