Rear windshield wiper with soft top?

So just thinking that the 4dr Outer Banks comes standard with a Soft Top, but also comes standard with the following:
  • Rear - Single-Speed Intermittent/Continuous wiper/washer
How is that going to work? I have yet to see a soft top from the rear.

I've seen an aftermarket soft top for a Jeep that had glass panels (not plastic). It had a rear wiper with a cigarette lighter pigtail that plugged into the accessory port in the back of the Wrangler. It looked a little awkward from the inside (with that cord running out and over everything), but from the outside it looked really clean. I've got to think that Ford has something more refined in mind. The way that the glass works in the doors (with no trim edge), they could do something similar on the back door. The glass retracts into the door and the wiper as mounted at the top door edge (behind the spare). When the soft top is off, the back glass (just like the front windows) goes down.

Awesome! A super slow and awkward electric rear window like my old Broncos.

I like the rear window; the breeze feels great on the highway. You don't even need AC when you have that and the window triangles.

You must not be driving in a humid Texas summer. We always need the AC.
