Default Does ANYONE have a functional rear wiper on their hatch?

None of the 3 si's I've owned had rear wipers that were worth a damn. Does anyone else have this problem, and what did you do to fix it (if you did).

My original wiper motor took a crap on me, so I replaced it with one from a dx and it has been working great ever since then, and the squirter works great also, now the rear defroster sucks ***. But yeah I tried rebuilding the old one but it didn't work. I ever went to the dealership and they wanted $125 for a new one. . So I got one from the junkyard for $5 bucks.

Never had any probs with it working. Now if it's functional or not, that's a whole other matter. That thing sucks, at least in the CRX it does something, but with the curve of the glass in the hatch it just makes a mess all over the bumper.

In my 6 years of ED ownership and all my rear wiper equiped Si's and DX's I have never ever turned one on.
I dont even know if any of them work.

anyone have any ideas about my front ones?

they dont stay flush with the bottom of the windshield...i would put them down all the way, and i would use them...when i turn them off they are like 3 inchs up...and the speed is always changing by themselves...would that be my motor going bad?

my wiper works technically, but the sprayer sprays clear off the back of the car

I have to just bump it on over and over to get it to spray on the back window

you can take a pin/needle and stick it in the sprayer hole and adjust it to where you want it to spray...

i dont have the wiper ahh i love my standard but if you want to pay for shipping you can have my wiper motor and see if that works for you. dont know why honda would put a rear wiper motor on a car that doesnt even have a rear wiper.
