But it is clean though.


At least the part the wiper touched. Quality not quantity.

Lol safe to say the wiper works

It should leave a rainbow when it wipes...

If you go onto the B&P tool, use the 360 view of the interior, and look to the rear...... don't know that wiper is gonna matter one iota. Can't see anything out the back anyway.

Perfect rainbow between and over the headrests. Engineering perfection!
Too bad they didn’t get something to clean the camera. That’s probably more worthwhile.

Better cancel then!

Yeah! The reasons just keep piling up (LOL)!
I am just not sure how effective that wiper is going to be since most of the time I plan to have the top off! :p

Agree

Just piling on

Work is slow today

To alleviate the rear wiper problem spend a few thousand on the 360 camera set-up and drive via the 12" console monitor. Problem solved. :ROFLMAO:

Off topic but I just noticed the navy pier cloth in your photo. Realizing that it has white accents on the seats. My build has white exterior. I need to see production photos of navy pier cloth of course but if it comes out anything like how clean the roast cloth seats did, I think I may actually be happy with those seats


I'd never imagine I'd be in a vehicle with blue seats but I also never imagined I'd be getting a Bronco either. This may work!

I showed my wife that pic and she said it looks like they use the colors from the Ford emblem. She was right.

Yup! She's right. Noticed that too
I hope that also means the dash has white accents on the vents and handles. Would make it complete. Saw some photos of then being a depressing grey

I drove past a nice dirty Cadillac Escalade tonight in a parking lot. It had a rear wiper that didn't clean much more than this. It was too dark to take a picture.

Think about from an engineering perspective: The rear window opens, meaning the wiper has to go above and beyond the window opening, or as it appears in the picture attached to the actual window. The window is much shorter than it is wide, then the top has to be able to come off, so weight is an issue, meaning the electronics, plumbing of an extra wiper would weigh more, and you don't want peoples hands on the wiper when they are removing and moving the top. Two or Three wipers would clean the majority of the window, but wouldn't meet the other goals; would add complexity, weight, etc. The better solution would be to have a rear camera mirror, that has a sprayer for the camera. I've owned hatchbacks/wagons my whole life, the rear wiper never cleans/clears the entire window, even my EVO VIII sedan had a rear wiper and that didn't clean/clear the whole window, but being able to see some is better than not being able to see anything.

That's nothing! This is how we rolled in the 90s.

That's almost worthless. Will need to see it in real life, but it almost doesn't look worth it.

Gonna be so much dirt, dust and grime. Can’t see out the window. Besides that rear seat will either be out or folded flat most of the time!
