Rear wiper neccesary?

Whats the general consensus on the a 911 without the rear wiper? I'm looking to spec a 4S and although I like the clean appearence of no rear wiper, I can't help feel that the resale may be affected a little. Does anyone find them that useful? I see the £200K Mercedes Macleren doesn't even have one.
 
Hi Dazzpowder - this topic has been discussed many times on here. Just do a search on the forum and find out what people are saying.

Personally, I like mine but there are plenty of others on here who equally like it without with some people going to the extremes of physically taking it off if a previous owner has specified it.

That will be me then, haha :thumb:
 
Without, no question.

I can't imagine resale being affected :?:

Haha - I was thinking you Stuart when I posted that!

IMHO the rear wiper looks awful. I didn't spec one on mine from new a) due to personal preference and b) asking the very same question on here!

There have been a couple of occasions where it would have been handy i.e. this morning to get the dew off the screen whilst reversing off the drive but in 11,000 miles of motoring without - has never really bothered me.
 
The more I compare with/without I lean toward the clean unobstructed line of view of a 911 without the wiper.
