One reason I bought a car with a rear wiper. It sucks not having one up here in the NW with all the rain and rainy season is just starting now. bump for you.

HAHa that does nothing for the back window, I tried
RainX or whatever does work pretty well. Just its annoying to apply, if you dont get it just right its all gross.

Potato works well!
slice one and apply it like you're buffing the car.
I did it one time when my front wiper brke down and it was raining really hard.

does the dx, vx, or Si hatch have a rear wiper? if so get the wiper thingy off of one of those, replace the hatch or something. thats what'd id do. not sure if they have one or not, i know they have sprayers and id imagine if they had sprayers they'd have a wiper, ive never really looked.
edit:
i just looked at some pictures, and i know the si has a wiper blade it looks like it comes out of the hatch window, my suggestion would be replace the window and get all the wiper crap for it. something like that, probably the more expensive approach, but it will definetly keep water off your back window
if your on a tight budget id just say......rainx Lol.

Rear wiper is a praticle functional part, I have always liked mine. In winter time, to get snow off, it works wonders.
I find less rain on the rear hatch glass, maybe that little factory DX tail spoiler blocked off some of it. Unless, the rain is coming from behind (or when your car is staintionary).

Re: (Spence)
ya rainx wont work......
the only option i can think of is to just intall a motor in the preexisting housing, but that seems like an awful lot of PITA work
